Low power plossl

Hi

I am looking to find a reasonable or even good quality low powered plossl as I will be hosting a week-end kids astronomy night/party in a fortnights time.

I initially thought of the 28mm RKE simply because it is a good quality low powered plossl that first sprang to mind but I am really not fussy on what brand it might be provided it can provide reasonable low powered views for the kids to look through. I already have a 25mm plossl so I am after anything that is above that - ideally anything from 28-32mm.

You have anything that might fit this description please send me a PM

Thank you

If it wasn't immediately apparent part of the reason why I am happy with any brand of plossl eyepiece is the increasing risk of eyepieces getting dropped/broken as an exponential factor of the increasing number of 10-12 year olds who want to handle them in dark

I have just revised the title of the post to hopefully better reflect what I am after - essentially a number of low powered plossls which I can use for a kids astronomy night.

I already have an Orion brand 25mm which isn't too bad - so I am after anything lower than this which can provide reasonable or good views - ideally anything in 1.25' around 28-32mm would be perfect -
