Hi Knigtrider,

I use the 2" 30mm GSO SV with 68 degree AFOV all the time as a finder and wide-viewer in my 10-inch and 12-inch f5 Dobsonians. The image quality is absolutely amazing for the price.

GSO also makes 20mm and 15mm versions of this SV (superview) 68 degree eyepieces in 1.25 inch.

Andrews sometimes sell them. About USD$45 each online at AgenaAstro (dot) com

This is the best bang for buck in the price range you indicated. GSO products seem optimised for fast Newtonians.

You can distinguish the difference between coma and astigmatism by rocking the focus. Astigmatism causes the oval shaped stars at the edge of field to change direction by 90 degrees when rocking focus from in-to-out.

Best wishes, Jason
