NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those Eyepieces in that Review are the clones of the Orion Expanse Eyepieces, with medium to long eye relief and supposedly Ultra Wide Angle of 66° AFOV I think. I dont like them much at all, particularly in fast telescopes. The 20mm I owned for a short period was "WOEFUL" in my F5 scope.

The ones I am talking about are different. They are not wide angle, they only have an AFOV of about 40° to 45° and each focal length has the same 20mm of eye-relief. These are not listed on Andrews website but I am sure he still has them for between $40 and $60 each. They are sold as Andrews LE eyepieces. Phone him and ask him. I owned the 5mm version for a while and it was very good optically for the price and very comfortable to use. The 5mm version should be ideal for your needs.
