I guess so, since Bintel sell both TV EPs and GS Dobs, and one of the prime reasons to get a Nagler or a Panoptic is because you want wide views through your fast Dob.

OTOH, in my 8" GS Dob (from Andrews), which I have converted from R&P to GS Crayford myself, Televue eyepieces will not come to focus in the standard 2"-to-1.25" adapter. I need to pull the EP out a few mm and retighten to reach focus.

I actually bought a 35mm focuser extender but the travel of the GS crayford is so short that this is too much for TV EPs, so I still can't reach focus. No biggie. Just got to remember to raise the EPs a few mm in the focuser. Bit annoying when mixing TV plossls and HD orthos (which are sweet in the GS cray).
