PST eyepieces

Is the coronado EP's better for the solar telescope than regular EP's?

Personally I found the UO orthos better, I carry a 9mm UO ortho in the case
instead of the standard 12mm Coronado EP and my 7.5mm Tak LE is the best
eyepice I have used so far in my PST

It's an f/10 scope, and only transmits a single wavelength.
Just about anything will work.

In addition to the eyepiece that came with the scope, I use a
12mm Televue Radian.

The radian is over 200 dollars and you are implying "anything will work".
Just what do you
mean? Did you get the CEMAX 12.5 mm with the PST?

My PST came with a 20mm Kellner.

"Anything will work" means exactly that. Slow scopes will
give good images with almost any eyepiece. Fast scopes
need fancy eyepieces for the best results. I thought
everybody knew that?

My big Dob is an f/5, and I can immediately tell the difference
between an old-tech eyepiece (e.g. Erfle) and a fancy new
one (Nagler, Radian). I've never tried the Kellner in my Dob.
It might be entertaining...

I use the Radian because it's a convenient focal length
for solar detail, it has good eye relief, and I already own
it. It also works in my Dob, my SCT and my Takahashi...
