I recommend the Orion 20mm 70 degree illuminated reticle eye piece for many reasons
1/ It has excellent eye relief ( 15mm )
2/ It has wide apparent field of view
3/ The Illuminator has a dimmer so you can adjust the red cross hair brightness
4/ The optics are quite good , no aberration or light scatter

Because I now use my imaging DSLR on live view in BYEOS on the lappy to polar align with Synscan , my Orion illuminated reticle eye piece didn’t go to waste , I now use it to align my Skywatcher 12” Goto dob for visual astronomy , once again this big dob is aligned in less than 10 minutes

Good luck and clear skies !!
