hello folks,
here is my recommendation, and what essentially works for me:
- try TV Plossls, eg 20mm and/or 25mm, with a good barlow or preferably, as I use, a Powermate 2.5x. With the 20mm and PM you have a good 8mm equivalent eyepiece with, sure, a 50 degree afov, but in a driven scope and used for planets, in the real world that would be all you would need.
- I also use a 7mm t6 Nagler, which is quite superb, and its 80+ degree afov reduces nudge-intervals in my Dob.
- basically, if you have the money, and since you only live once, enjoy the feeling of buying some really nice eyepieces --- I resisted for a long time, and now regret that penny-pinching decision.
