Re: Best Eyepieces For $100 or Less

The Ultrascopics, Orthos and Plossls suggested here, while all very good to excellent EPs, all also have peephole eye lenses below 15mm or so. This leaves the Hyperions and other similar long eye relief EPs as better options for avoiding the short focal length peepholes.

"I'll admit that in the 68 degree AFOV range the Hyperion at $120 (formerly $99) stands tall, but is the power of a 68 degree AFOV field sufficient inducement to sacrifice any level of optical quality?"
Yes, this is everyone's choice. So far, I've made the inexpensive widefield compromise and enjoy my views though now that I have an f/5 scope, I only use my BO/TMBs, Hyps, and WO UWANs (which I got for $130/ea on sale).
