Rob People that have been around for a while have told me the Orthoscopic and Plossel eyepieces are good in the short focal length. I picked up some Univertisy Optic Orthos on Astromart for $40 a piece + shipping; 4mm, 6mm and 9mm. I have found that as you go below 9mm it gets tuff to get a good sharp focus - but sometimes you need the power.

I'd like to get a TV 5mm Radian but being the thrifty type, I like getting the most for my $$. Any suggestions as to an alternative or 2??
