I'm new to astological "looking". I have an ETX 90 with 15mm(83x), 26mm(48x) and 40mm(for rifle range) Poessls. I also have a Pentax 65-A spotting scope with a Vixen 8-24 zoom.
Seeing that Vixen is having a good sale I want to buy a good eyepiece to look into space. What do you suggest I get? I wear glasses so eye relief is important. Thanks for advice.

Hi Rick,
I have a couple of the Vixen super wides, 8mm and 22mm, and really like them. 20mm eye relief and 65 degree AFOV. I use then in my 10" f4.7 dob and they are sharp to the edge. I'm tempted to pick up a couple more myself at the sale price.
