Which is why I always take a bucket with me to catch all that "wasted" light. I then donate it to other fellows with smaller scopes.
I have no problem with an over large exit pupil. If the FOV the EP gives satisfies, then what's the problem? No wasted light. Not the most effective, but certainly not wasted. Sometimes the carry on that happens about exit pupil, pin-sharp edge to edge, etc, etc, really, just takes the fun out of this. To carry on like this is just nasty. Relax, boys.
Wavy, thanks mate, I certainly will take you up on that 42mm EP in my f/5 refractor.
