Well I didn't' think the eyepiece would be that narrow FOV

Bought a baader zoom eyepiece for three reasons

1. Taking in the car as a convenience not to have to travel with a case of eyepieces
2. Birding with the 72MM ED scope
3. Using for Ha with the 72mm when out for the day, again converniece

I am very happy with it, just the FOV

Is it me or is it very narrow, I really only use 2" eyepieces and those I have that are 1.25 appear a lot wider, thanks

On another site someone said, but I can not find out what my eyepieces are to compare, is this normal or narrow, I know I now sound really dumb bit I thought (never gave it any thought really) that the numbers should be the other way round, the 24mm should be the widest and the 8mm the narrowest ??

24mm - 42°
20mm - 49°
16mm - 52°
12mm - 58°
8mm - 70°
