I have a Tasco Luminova 40114675

114mm F/8

With 1.25" eyepieces. The eyepieces i have are factory supplied with the
scope, 4mm, 12.5mm and 20mm. I hear that these can be greatly improved upon.

Would these be much better? : -

I have one of those, but in the smaller 76mm format. The telescope
itself isn't bad, but yes, the eyepieces are. The set you're looking at
would indeed improve things quite a lot, but I don't think you need
*all* of them. Get two or three plossls and a good barlow (the one that
came with your telescope isn't fantastic - I finally replaced mine last
month) and you'd be set.
