22mm nagler type 4 is an awesome eyepiece.
It gave me the best views on a Tak FS152 at a dark site many years ago.
But that was 1200mm focal length and the AP is 819mm.
Still I think it would be marcellous and an eyepiece I keep my eye out for.

I’ll look into the Nikons.
Smallish FOV are they.

Funny thing I found a University Optics 4mm ortho I’d forgotten I had this morning! I think I had used it for collimating scopes. I’ll have to try that out in a planet.

I enjoy trying / comparing different eyepieces in my scopes as well!
I found my 22 Nagler my goto eyepiece in the 2” format, pretty hard to beat for me, my eyes and my scopes.
Another in a small form factor is a Nikon microscope eyepiece which I stumbled upon. Sharp stars too the edge and an inky black background to boot!
My favourite cause it punches above its weight and works in all my scopes.
NIKON CFIUW 10x25 [infinity focus ultra wide] 20mm eye relief, only has a 30mm barrel though.

Good luck with your future purchases
