G'day Wade,

Regarding the TV Radian 10mm versus TV plossl 11mm, I agree with Keith. The Radian's wider (60 v 50 degrees) apparent field of view and much longer eye relief will be the main differences. Unless your scope has a very long focal length the 10% difference in magnification shouldn't make that much difference.

Regarding Pauly's suggestion of the Pentax XF 8.5mm, I agree that these are very nice eyepieces and small too (very similar in size to a TV 32mm plossl). One tiny correction, the XF has an apparent field of view of 60 degrees, not 68 degrees.

Clear skies whatever you choose.
