Thanks everyone. I will get the glasses Saturday. They will be progressives and I am sure I am going to need a week or two to adjust.

I am not going to buy any new eyepieces until I see how I do with and without the glasses.

I have seen the Televue site and found that very interesting. Yes it seems that the astigmatism is less of an issue as the exit pupil decreases.

Will I want to keep my glasses on? Well, we will see.

My Agena SWA has 28 mm eye relief so I can try that with the glasses.

I have an ES 7025 that claims long eye relief but they don't provide a spec. This will probably be OK too.

The meade HD-60 4.5 claims greater than 17 mm. So that should be enough for me to try it at the high mag range.

And the Celestron zoom claims 15 to 18. This is my most used eyepiece.

Then I have two plossls at 5 and 2 mm. either I will continue to use them without glasses or they will have to be replaced.

We will see.
