Silly me! I forgot to mention the Pentax XFs. A bit less FOV at 60 degrees and cost a bit more than the Stratus, but they are in a different league i.t.o. quality. They only come in 12mm and 8.5mm, but these would be very useful focal lengths for your scope. If you can afford to spend a little more, I would recommend these despite the slightly reduced FOV, because they are sharper, brighter, better baffled and have more contrast than the Stratus. I got my 8.5mm from www.handsonoptics.com.

But if money is tight or you insist on 65 degree FOV, the Stratus are a great option too. (Hyperion too if you can find them.)
