Shortest eyepiece for f10 8" sct

[Wavytone]

Simplest would be to just try it on a scope. If it works well enough don't agonise about theoretical "maybes"..

Are not the theoretical maybe's worth a tiny consideration before the outlay of hundreds of dollars or a hundreds of kms of driving to a star party?

Just a comment about diagonals. When I replaced the standard 1 1/4" Celestron diagonal on my CPC800 with a GSO 2" quartz one, all of a sudden I was getting textbook star images instead of fuzzy blobs.
The image you see is dependent on the weakest link in the system- so it is worth checking the diagonal before blaming eyepieces if you are having problems with sharpness of image etc.
