I agree with the Nagler T6 13mm that others have endorsed. It is my most used eyepiece across a range of scopes, unless I want high power: and even then it barlows very well. I find the FOV is as big as I want to go: I have tried the 100-degree ones, and keep going back to the Nagler.

For the best low-power and best FOV, I can't go past the TV32mm plossl for a 1 1/4" focuser (maximum possible TFOV), and for a 2" focuser my favourite is a Panoptic 27mm. I love the 68 degree AFOV: for me it really works.

I also find I don't need a coma corrector for any of these in my f5 scope.

If you are patient these eyepieces come up on this site in the Used section (that is where I got my Panoptic), generally for around 60-65% of the new price. (I also picked up an ES82° 11mm there a while back.)

Good luck!
