Had a look at the latest Sky and Telescope.
Hadn't been following it much of late, I'm sad to say, but yesterday I decided to go ahead as I wanted to look up some ideas. Anyways, I've learned that times have been very exciting for amateur astronomers in one area. First, TeleVue finally fulfilled Al Nagler's dream - they went beyond the 100 degree Ethos to the 110 Ethos SX, now matching the performance of the eyepiece used in the Apollo Lunar [Excursion] Module simulator that he had previously designed. Then, Explore Scientific decided to go whole hog, and since Koehler proved it could be done back when he designed a periscope eyepiece for German U-boats, they've come out with an eyepiece with a 120 degree apparent field.
