Hello,

Maybe try eye guards on top of the plossl if you can? Ebay has lots for microscopes and such. Sounds like the kids need somewhere to rest, rather than a new eyepiece.

Maybe cut up a bit of stiffish foam, wet suits/gym mats etc, and wrap that around the ep, give it a little give so its adjustable.

Otherwise, the standard suggestion of BST/Star Guider, under $80 and has the adjustable twist top for eye placement. That's about the cheapest adjustable twist top ep I can think of that seems to rate very well in the entry level market.

Ps. the Star guider are $75 I think, best 3(of 6) for $215 from memory, 60degree FOV and ED coatings. Plenty of reviews for them on CN etc.
