Eyepieces for an 8" dob

Posted By Joseph Cator

I recently purchased an 8" dob. and it came with two (2) eyepieces, a 10 mm, and a 25 mm. I'm happy with the performance of both, but I have never experienced anything else (I'm new to telescopes). I'm thinking I would like to purchase something in the 16mm to 18mm range, with a wider field of view, and a price of up to $75 to $125 dollars.

Can anybody provide me with some recommendations about what eyepieces I should be considering for the best performance, and in that price range??

Also, how do 2" eyepieces compare with 1.25"? Should I be seriously looking at 2" eyepieces??
