Hello Jeff
The only thing I'll say about the ED eyepieces is that Steve Coe already said it for me. I have had a fair amount of experience with the Synta 9mm widefield,a.k.a Orion Expanse in a number of different telescopes of different designs. My guess is your asking about your refractor at F/6.5? In my F/6 refractor,an AT66 ED,I thought the eyepiece was an absolute bargain. Well corrected to near about 80% off axis. Field curvature minimal,light scatter quite tolerable,fine light transmission and decent planetary performance. Not enough eye relief for this eyeglass user but maybe enough for some. For the non-glass wearer the likes a lot of wiggle room,near eye relief paradise. These eyepieces can be had for $38.00 new at Agena Astro. This particular eyepiece acts larger that it appears in terms of the AFOV of 66º.
Did I say bargain.
