Many small scopes, plus a Lightbridge 12, LX 70-8R,6R,6M
Many eyepieces, just not really expensive ones.

50 degrees and below are fine for planets.
82 degrees and above great for some
I’ve enjoyed very narrow
But then I have tracking mounts.

Re: What is your favourite AFOV?
I'm not a great fan of 100 degs or 40-50 degs, even though I find the the Vixen HRs particularly comfortable to use, so those are exceptions. I tend to like eyepieces with weight of about 500g, large top lens 16-18mm eye relief with soft rubber and clean field. Examples are Docter UWA, 30mm APM UFF, but also the TV Delos series. Nagler T6 are different from these, but to me they offer sweet spot ergonomics too. I wish TeleVue made "Nagler T7s" upgrading the existing T6 with the technology developed for Ethos, Delos, and Delite. It could probably damage the business of Ethos and Delos though..
20-13-9-7-4.77mm APM XWA, 30mm APM UFF, 25.1-6.7mm Zeiss DiaScope Vario zoom, 12.5mm Docter, 8-6mm TV Delos, Baader VIP Barlow
24mm TV Panoptic, 13-9-7 mm TV Nagler T6, Nagler zoom 6-3mm, 21-9mm Nikon MC1 zoom, Baader Q-Barlow 2.25x
