Soliciting opinions on eyepieces for my new C11. Understadning it's a slow scope what are good eyepieces that will max viewing without being overkill on slow optics.

Consider Lunar, Planetary and Deep Sky applications.
Can accomodate both 1 1/2" and 2" eyepieces.

Thanks for your input

Best Regards

Dave

For low power/wide angle on an f10 scope, University Optics 40mm MK-70 would be a superb choice. You won't get a wider field of view, and it's downright reasonably priced compared similar field-of-view options. Plus, it has more reasonable eye relief than 55mm Plossl eyepieces I've used (these tend to have too-long eye relief) and a nice 70 deg AFOV.

Dave- With a big SCT, the one eyepiece that matches up best is the 20mm type 2 Nagler. Rich
