Howdy Beowulf,
The Zoom eyepiece that you now have for the Spotter probably does not
exhibit as wide a apparent FOV compared to just a standard Plossl
Eyepiece.
Most good brand standard Plossl Eyepieces usually have an Apparent FOV
of 48-50 degrees. Your Zoom most likely will be narrower than this, so
in effect the Standard Plossl may "seem" like a Widefield in comparison.
Standard Televue Plossls in the 25mm, and 11mm range should not set you
back much more than $100 ea.
You also probably could find these, or similar quality eyepieces used on
the Astromart website.
If you decide to register there for free, make sure you use a valid
email address, and give all correct personal information. Do read
carefully, the terms of service before you sign up.
Besides the totally free massive amount of classifieds, both for
selling, and buying-want ads, etc, there are many discussion forums
available to participate in on this site, including a birding forum.
Literally 1000's of highly knowledgeable people there to help you.
Herb York runs/owns the site, and this is a tremendous resource for
yourself, and wife to use. I highly recommend it! Mark D.
