The 18mm of eye relief offers unvignetted viewing for eyeglass wearers. It' s parfocal with the shorter focal length Plossls. The 32mm Plossl, with its larger 50 degree apparent field, will deliver the same true field as the 40mm but with higher magnification."

Have a look at the Televue website - advice on eyepieces for 8inch SCT.

I would second the Tele Vue 32mm Plossl. A great eyepiece! The Radians are very good for the higher powers and have 20mm eye relief and are currently $215.00 at Bintel. You could also try the new Meade HD-60 with 17mm eye relief at only $99.00 at Bintel. See https://www.bintelshop.com.au/welcome.htm
