Abstract
Although one often hears about eyepieces for planetary observing, it is not common to hear about eyepieces specialized for any other celestial object category. However, just because it has never become popular to think of a deep sky object (DSO) eyepiece or a globular cluster eyepiece, etc., this does not mean that there might not be certain eyepiece characteristics that can best exploit the observation of these targets.
