Before I started purchasing eye pieces about 4 years ago I bought an excellent book called “Choosing and Using Astronomical Eye Pieces” by William Paolini
It’s about 6 or 7 years old now but to me it’s well worth purchasing as it covers the A to Z of astro eye pieces , very comprehensive and easy to read
Amongst other sources of advice it helped me make my decision about choosing Televue eye pieces. It’s taken nearly 4 years but I now have a good range of Televue eye pieces for my 12” Goto dob , although quite expensive , you pay for what you get with Televue and I have absolutely no regrets
I’m also one of the fortunate few that have the Televue Apollo 11 commemorative eye piece ( serial no 186 ) it’s definitely not a show piece in a trophy cabinet as some folk have suggested , it’s a absolutely brilliant eye piece
( I wrote a review in early June about this eye piece )
Good Luck with your eye pieces
Cheers
