I have a WO binoviewer that hasn’t seen much use yet. It came with 20 and 9mm eyepiece pairs. I’m looking at the Meade 5000 25 mm eyepieces that High Point Scientific is selling for $44.95. Will these match with the WO binoviewer and provide a different enough view from the 20 mm WO eyepieces to make their purchase recommended? Thanks in advance!

I'd venture, yes.  The eyepieces that came with the binoviewer are likely entry-level Plossls or something like that.

Thanks for the input, I have ordered a pair. Clear skies!

WO's are usually bundled with good quality 66 degree WO eyepieces.
