The further out you go the flatter the field.
Anyway thank you all for the comments, it has led me to the next question.
If money was not an issue what would the best eyepiece set to get?

Regards Syd.
Syd there is some variation in optically quality in some EP sets ...eg Nagler type 6s the best to me and some others were the 13mm, 9mm ,16mm and 5mm..others all very good but the 13mm is simply amazing in a SCT , as are a 19mm and 24mm Pan..
Some Vixens and Tak LEs and most of the ES 68 range , Dual Eds from TS , Astrotech , Agena etc look very good below 18 mm in SCTs and at a very low price..So no real need to spend big.

Really a lot is trial and error for your scope at times .. You need to look back on EP posts, and there comments to see what suits the curvature of your scope.
PS :All the Deloi Ive had perform great in Any scope Ive put them in!
