Oh my God, I've read so many reviews, looked thru many eyepieces, dwelled on exit pupil, fov, magnification, focal ratio, true fov, mag density, all the different brands......aaaaahhhh!!!

Please help. For some bizarre reason, I've narrowed ONE of my decisions to the following (please don't ask why)....on an f/9-10 scope, which one would you all choose:

32mm UO Konig or 31mm GTO Proxima (which is a modified Antares Erfle with a 72 deg afov)?

Don't even talk about 1.25" .....only the two mentioned, which are the 2" versions, please.

Thanks. I can't take it anymore and need help from my overanalysis compulsion.

High power eyepiece question

Posted By Oz Alfert

Recommendations, please. I'd like to find a 1.25" 5-6mm with afov 50ยบ+ and eyerelief of 10mm+ , that does not rely on a built-in set of barlow lenses to achieve its short focal length and maintain descent eyerelief. Also, price must be below $150. Would consider eyerelief as low as 7mm if necessary. Anyone know of such an eyepiece? Thanks
