Ep question

Im weighing my options for a future scope... I noticed on a "local" site the other day that the price of Televue Plossls and Meade Series 5000 Super Plossls were about the same. Just curious which one would be better suited to an f/5 ish Dob?

Meade Plossls

AHHH I can't type lol ...... I mean correction...*the meade ones are only plossls not supers*

I dont think there will be much in it. The Meade offers a slightly wider field of view than the Tele Vue (60 degrees V's the TV's 50 degrees) but I don't think the Meade will be sharp right across the field in an F/5 scope.

If you wear glasses when viewing the Meades will be more comfortable as they offer more eye relief than the Tele Vue Plossls.

Personally I'd probably go for Tele Vue Plossls but then I'm a confirmed TV eyepiece nut so biased I guess

Lol well bias is sometimes a good thing. Thanks for the input. Thats the way I was leaning anyways. Just wanted to be sure I wasnt missing anything major.
