Could someone advise me on a selection of EP's for the Celestron CR150 refractor. I currently have a 45mm vixen/celestron silvertop, 26mm vixen/celestron silvertop, 12mm Type 2 Nagler and a 4mm Televue Radian. Additionally, a Celestron 1.25" Ultima Barlow.

Looks like you've got a decent selection already, with some magnification flexibility given the barlow. How do you like the Radian, especially for planets?
I'm using Meade's 6" refractor (AR 6). I don't have much of an EP selection. I've ordered the $99 EP deal - wont be going up in quality, but at the price ...
I'm having trouble with my high power EP (5 mm series 3000 plossl) as there isn't much eye relief or FOV. I'm observing in hot & sticky South Florida. Great seeing, right until everything dews up. With the 5 mm the proximity of my eye fogs the EP in about 15 minutes.
I'm trying to decide on some better EP's with better eye relief. I'll watch the posts to your query, but the radian sounds nice.
