And...eye relief.....

how far you have to hold your eye from the eyepiece lens...

In general the plossl design has poor eye relief. If you are older...as I am...you need longer eye relief and larger (to a certain extent) exit pupil eyepieces up to around 10 to 15 mm eye relief from eyepieces.

Have a look at the the Televue page on this...but in general the TV 32mm plossl is an excellent cheap eyepiece....my favourite!

Better yet... if you can afford...the TV Naglers!
