what if i threaded the 1.25 deep sky into the end of my diagonal?

Re: one eyepiece

the eyepieces that came with the scope(which was used) are
celestron 40mm plossl
orion lantham 25mm 14mm 9.5mm
also orion shorty-plus 2x

to describe them collectively...dirty...small fov.....edges are awfull.

dont get me wrong some things dont seem very noticable in this scope, not like viewing is horrible.

but overall i have the feeling they stink.

let me clarify.... this is my first scope. i have some eyepieces that came with it.they aren't to great. i guess what i was asking is what would be your first quality eyepiece to add to the not so quality ones?
