Hi, Malcolm.
So, if I get the 24 pan and the 17 nag, I can add a 2.5X barlow later and that will effectively give me 24, 13, 9.6, 5.2. Thats looking like a pretty good combo to me. I understand that 5.2 will not get used much but surely if seeing permits planets would be quite large in the eyepiece. My only concern is at the low power end. Is the fov in the 24 pan ok for galaxies or do I need something like a 35/40. I guess it all depends on the target right? M31 for example is quite different to most other smaller galaxies. In any case I can always add something later at the low end. So from what adrian was saying earlier in the thread, the 35 pan is not ideal due to exit pupil but the 24 is far more suited to a 12"? Also, like you said, probably one of the more inexpensive combos I have considered so far. Thanks for your help.
Oh, and Brian, you look like your living the dream!
