I've been looking through my most recent Orion catalogue, and came across some zoom eyepieces. Do any of you recommend them? I have a 25mm and a 10mm already, but it sounds good if one could get one lense that would fill in between. Orion advertises several, one (the cheapest at $60) adjusts from 21-7mm. That would give me a good overall selection considering the two I have now. Any suggestions?

Dave,
I tried the 7-21, but the FOV was way too narrow for my taste so I returned it. I have a Vixen 8-24mm zoom, which is similar to the Televue without the click stops, and it's not too bad -- still pretty narrow though compared to even a Plössl. I believe Orion sells a branded version of this same EP.
