Thanks for reading Dave
The 32mm is the standard EP that came with the GSO scope. It's just a plossl with 2" barrell. Haven't worked out its AFOV. I'm finding since I got the 24mm Pan, I rarely use the 32mm much, I really only used it as a step between the finder and a higher power EP, almost never for actual observing unless target was really big!
The 24mm Pan is a lovely EP, (I must give a caveat here, I have limited experience with other EP's so its just my view). Wide fields, nice sharp stars, all around great.
Likewise the 13mm, which is probably the best value TV ep out there, unless you have serious eyerelief needs. I was blown away when I got this little gem, still my favourite, absolutely tack sharp, fairly good eye relief (I wear glasses) and colours are very true.
I have a 2x TV barlow and a 2.5x Powermate, try not to use them. Main use is planets and the occasional PN. I would prefer to go a stand alone higher power EP (thinking about a 5 or 6mm Radian or a 5mm Orion Stratus as my next one)
