Since yesterday i've had a look around and found the televue nagler type 6 3.5mm and 2.5mm, these could also be good.

Prices for eyepieces up to about $500 tops.
Aaron,

You must own 1 of the original TV Genesis models, the original version was a 101mm F5 APO, with the later version known as the Genesis SDF being a 101mm F5.4 APO (540mm fl). A very fine scope using a rear end doublet to reshape the F12 light cone from the primary doublet.

What eyepieces/barlow combinations do you already own ? You may already own something that can barlow nicely for great planetary views. If not there are several very good options for use as a planetary eyepiece in this scope.

Owning a top quality scope makes it easy to match eyepieces to.
