I’ve winnowed down the accessories to the following:
Celestron X-CEL LX 2X 3-Element Barlow

Or
Celestron 2X Omni Barlow
https://www.astronom...s.html?___SID=U
and for Eye Pieces:Celestron 8-24MM Zoom, 1.25"
https://www.astronom...5.html?___SID=UOr
Meade 8-24MM Long Eye Relief Zoomhttps://www.astronom...m.html?___SID=U
And for a longer focal length eye piece a 32 or 40mm
Astro-Tech Value Line Plossl
https://www.astronom...l.html?___SID=U
Celestron Omni Plossl
https://www.astronom...-25-plossl.html
Meade Series 4000 Super Plossl
https://www.astronom...per-plossl.html
Is the X-Cel Barlow worth the premium over the Omni?
Is one of the zooms better than the other, same with the Plossls?
Should I be leery of Meade?
I would look at an x-cel 25mm or ES 68 in 24mm instead of the 32mm plossl. Because they are wider FOV, they will have close to the same FOV as the 32mm, but will have more magnification and contrast. The main drawback is price.
