I purchased a TV 25mm and 15mm (and TV 2X barlow) Plossl's for base viewing. I love them.

I found the 15mm (133X) not enough magnification for Jupiter and too much when used with the Barlow (266X). The 25mm was better when used with the Barlow (160X), still I'm considering a 11mm TV Plossl to give around 180X, which I reckon will be the max for planetary thru my C8.

I'm also considering a TV 32mm Plossl. They are supposed to be the bee's knee's in Plossl's although at that power I should consider a wider field of view, maybe Orion Stratus (although they do not have the FL I want) or Vixen LVW's....and the house in debt.

But I must say, the TV's are good eyepieces for the price.
