I ended up canceling the 13 mm, and only got the 24 mm Panoptic. The 24, 16, 11 and 9 mm Nagler/Pan combo with a 2.5 powermate covers my bases nicely, I figure.

BTW Dunk, you said this:

Ultimately, if you're worried about width of field combined with image quality, you might be better off channeling the money into a short doublet refractor...a 100mm at f6 should fit just fine on the SE mount and will give you more than double the FOV you can get from a C8.
Have you tried a rich field refractor on you C8 dovetail? I'm a little worried about the extra weight on my single arm 8SE, so it'd be nice to hear from someone who has experience with this. If you've done it, any models you can recommend?
