There is no eyepiece for your scope that will let you see all of M31. It
is WAY too large. Don't blame your eyepiece, or the scope. M31 is HUGE!
It will fill the field of a pair of BINOCULARS!

Right now, you need just to use the eyepieces you have on the objects you
want to see, and determine where the shortcomings are. THEN you can
decide what eyepieces you need next. But one eyepiece you aren't going to
find, is one that will show you all of M31 in your scope... But a 32mm
Plossl will still be pretty awesome...

I can't find it with 10" dob?
