What scope does that work in??? I've got the following: 3 Sirius 25 mm's 3 Sirius 10 mm's (Thanks Orion, for bundling those with the scopes...I've got enough for binoviewing if I go down that road) 1 Highlight 32 mm 1 Highlight 20 mm 1 Highlight 17 mm 1 Highlight 12.5 mm 1 Expanse 20 mm 1 Expanse 15 mm 1 Expanse 9 mm 1 Expanse 6 mm 1 Paul Rini 30 mm On order: 1 5 mm TMB Planetary. I was hoping it would get here today, but it hasn't come yet and the USPS tracking site is USELESS. All it says is "Electronic Shipping Info Received" and it has said that since Wednesday. I've also got the Orion Tri-Mag and Shorty Barlow Plus, the variable polarizer, a 13% moon filter, a color filter set, an ultrablock, an OIII filter, and a V-Block filter for the Short Tube.

Eyepieces laid on its side are the ones I use the most on my 22" f/4. The 22" is the scope I use the most, more than 95% of the time. They are... 20mm Pentax XW - finder eyepiece 10mm Tak LE 7.5mm Tak LE 5mm Tak LE The rest are used as necessary. They are... 35mm Panoptic - top center 13mm Ethos - unlabeled eyepiece on 2nd row - 9mm Nagler - 2nd row at the right, next to the Ethos 4,5, 7, 9 and 12mm TMB Supermonocentric (the 12mm is lent to a friend) - second to bottom row. 2.8 and 3.6mm Tak LE - bottom row Oh, the Paracorr is not used much, only for public viewing of low power eye candy. The 2x Televue Big Barlow hasn't been used in many many years. I don't know why I still have it. On the left are three popular filters which I had for almost 20 years. They are Lumicon O-III, H-beta and Orion Ultrablock (the original). I don't know why I have the orange filter sitting in my case without a case. I don't use it, somehow it ended up there.

Except for 1 or 2 klunkers they're all pretty good, just with narrower AFOVs. And none are particularly expensive so instead of reselling, they're probably better used as star party EPs or to lend/give to newbies w/limited funds.
