I have been using a Williams Optics bino viewer for a while now ( thanks Meru!) in my 150mm f8 frac. The WO comes with a pair of 20mm 66* eyepieces that are really good. I'll soon be getting a Siebert diagonal which will allow me to use the bino's without the 1.6X corrector. :D
In mono mode I have the ES's in my signature a GSO 15mm Superview plus a few GSO plossls 32 25 20 and 15mm. Eye relief is not important in mono mode and hope the same applies for stereo viewing...is that right? I Could double a couple of the ones I have, or maybe Astro Tech Paradagims?
Recommendations...? After longer and shorter FL to go with the supplied 20mm's.

I have the GSO 15mm Superviews:eyepop: in my WO bino, and they are there 95% of the time. I tried GSO 15mm Plossls and couldnt always get images to merge, :shrug:no such problem with the Superviews. Also gave the GSO 25mm Plossls a shot, but saw no advantage over the supplied WO 20mm oculars,(fields of view fairly similar but the WO were to me better in that the extra magnification;) was an advantage.

Thanks Stephen. FWIW I have gone with the 15mm GSO Superviews and a pair of Vixen NPL 30mm plossls. I tried the 20mm WO SWA's with a 2X barlow on Jupiter the other morning and the view was sensational :eyepop: in my 6"frac with a Badder semi apo filter. Might re think the Siebert diagonal.
