Thanks to all for the answers!
I already have a C8 and I usually use it for observing in my holiday
house in the mountain. I live in a city long way from this place and
for this reason I purchased a little but of good quality telescope. I
spent many hours seeing galaxies and others deep-sky objects and I use
observing at 120 magnification with my C8. With my Pentax 500 mm and 8
LVW i have only 63 magnification...and so I decided to search a new
eyepiece of short focal lenght with good AFO (60-70 degrees).After
having read in internet a lot of reports about eyepiece now I would
purchase a 3.5 mm or 5 mm....Nagler, Radian, Pentax XW or Vixen LVW
?????

of these I would try the Pentax and then the Radian, but I have deeper
question.
Why any short fl ep with this scope beyond the 8mm you already have? I
think
you are wasting money that could be saved toward another larger telescope?

You could simply get a good barlow instead? Thats just my personal bias.
But,
if you get the Pentax then I sense a larger scope is soon to come, which
is OK too!
Good luck -

I have just purchased a short apo 80 mm Pentax 75 SDHF. I spent many
hours in internet reading test of this telescope...i love both
observing and photographing the sky. I have 40 mm konig ,22 mm ED,
15.5 mm Swarowski,and 8 mm LVW eyepieces; now i would a short focal
eyepiece. I am interested by Vixen 5 LVW (230 euro), Pentax 5 XW (350
euro) and Televue Radian 5 (330 euro).
omeone perhaps can help me in choosing the right eyepiece!!
