In a 10" or 12" dob I've shortlisted pentax xw10 and denkmeier 14mm based on the excellent feedback here for dso and cluster use. I require good eye relief as I use eyeglasses and these both provide that.
I have used both of these eyepieces extensively over the past decade in telescopes from 4" to 36" and as fast as F4. They are both outstanding eyepieces and certainly the equal of anything Televue has ever produced.
