Orion Epic ED-2 18mm
I used this on a 90mm MAC with long focal length, please keep in mind that what works in a long focal length scope may not work as well in a fast scope [such as an f/5 Dob].

View was very clear and crisp, right to the edge. Using a variable power barlow, planetary detail began to drop off due to limitations of the scope, not the eyepiece.

This is a very good eyepiece in long focal length scopes, especially for the low cost.
