The 24 Pans I am sure would be nice...many people speak highly of them for binoviewing.

I have a pair of the Denkmeir 21 mm eyepieces and they are every bit as nice as the 24 Pan (comparing them in cyclops mode as I only have 1 24 Pan but it is one of my favorites). I do think highly of the Denkmeir eyepieces...I wish I had purchased the 14 mm too when I had the chance (I think they have been discontinued). The 21's are built like tanks and when I bought them they still came automatically with "the vaults"...they are nice!

I then jump to 15 mm TV Plossls and recently picked up the 8 mm TMB Planetarys.

I have not had a lot of time with the TMBs yet but so far they are doing what I had hoped for...The smaller Plossls have me a bit concerned with eye relief especially since I mostly use the Binos with family and friends...so I thought I'd give the TMBs a whirl...they seem to be "good value"...

The Denk Binoviewer works fine on moon and planets..Bright DSO are acceptable but I find trying to use them for faint fuzzies is a waste on the smaller scopes (ED80 and even the 8 inch Dob)...I've not gotten the counterweights figured out just right for much use in the 12.5 inch...but I will get there eventually.
