Hello,

Can I ask what you want to view with the ep?

Just at high mag and wide field, then choosing bright objects like planets your going to be stretching all but the best ep's.

Your eye relief and placement will be critical if you want to get the full 82degree fov. You would gain a lot eye relief and easier eye placement with the slightly narrower fov ep's suggested from others.

Noblex (doctor) if money is not a major worry would be very good in the list.

Read about flare issues with the ep's if your thinking the really bright objects for the ep's use.

Ps. This is on sale for around the same price as the Nagler atm, $299 USD. APM XWA HDC Hyperwide 4.77mm 8-element 110° eyepiece--1.25"/2.0" (APM rate well value for money, I have no idea on this line - others on this site have spoken well of the XWA line though - see link or a few comments on the 4.77 from cn - tight ER though) - Having said that part of the value of Tele Vue is not only the ep but its resale price should it be too high powered for you.

If its F8 or more you have a fairly forgiving scope tbh, you might get away with less then premium. But others might want to comment on that.
