Hi guys.
I'm looking for the views of those of you who have used either/both the TeleVue 1.25" and 2" Powemates.
I don't currently own either but am looking to find one or both of each here through the classifieds. Before committing to any purchases I'd like to know which would best suit my eventual needs. Currently I own a Tak TOA130 (focal length 1000mm) and intend to add a Tak Mewlon 250 with corrector (focal length approx 2500mm) sometime in the near future.
What are the advantages of the 1.25" -v- 2" Powermates? And which of the various magnifications 2x through to 5x would be the best choices for each telescope.
I'm looking for both visual and AP uses.
