I want a good eyepiece "type" for my Dob. I need your suggestions !! I just want the best viewing EP. While suggesting, keep in mind the Scope is short f/ ratio and has a tiny amount of coma. Some EP's can help with this combination. I view Deep sky only. I don't care about planetary EP's.

If your scope has some coma thats a problem with your optics no ep is going to correct it for you. If you want hi power views the UO ortho's like the 7 mm or 9 mm, the Koning 12 mm and the 24 mm are also very good plus the 16 mm as well. These ep's are in the reasonable price range for good glass, the edge distortion from what I have seen runs around 10% but the FOV is decent and do a much better job then the hi priced plossl's at faint star detection plus work well on the planets. I used all these ep except for the 7 mm on a discovery F5.6 dob and they work very well and are allot less than TV's Panoptics.
