‘Cause our dollar is more like a peso.

There's nothing very demanding about wide-field low-power eyepieces and you don't need to pay a lot for something that will suit your refractors. The Televues though are best suited to Newtonians whereas you use a refractor and for these a modified Erfle or Ortho design will do nicely.

For example the TMB Paragon 30 or 40mm, or the 70-degree SWA 38mm are good, made by Prostar and sold under various brands eg https://agenaastro.com/agena-38mm-su...-eyepiece.html

If you want to pay more the Masuyamas are good: 10, 16, 26, 32, 45 50 and 60mm. Of these the pick for a low-power eyepiece is the 32mm, the field stop is as big as is possible in a 2" barrel, with 85-degree field. The 10mm may appeal too if you want a high-contrast eyepiece.
