I would go with a 12mm ortho from UV for planets and a 17mm telvue, that's
the main two I use.

I may have too many eyepieces for my XT-12, 1500mm focal length, f4.9.
Included in my eyepieces are a 10mm Radian and a 5mm Nagler Type 6, and, a
TV 2X Barlow.
Do I need the 5mm, or, will the 10mm with Barlow provide the same results?
Views through the 5mm are really crisp and bright -- will I lose anything
with the Barlow?
Thanks.
