Hi AG,
I wouldnt say that I am not satisfied with the view, i just feel that I didnt look through the xw and go
. Maybe I am expecting too much. I didnt get this from the nagler or the tak either and to be honest I am indifferent to the 70/84/whatever degrees the tak is. I find that I dont even notice it, I tend to look at the target and I dont care how big a chunk of sky is around it because I am not even looking there. Does that make sense?
I am keen to test this theory with an ethos though, I may completely change my tune after using one of those. who knows? But the nagler for example is an older one, so a new plossl will probably have the same optics, (or possibly better) bar the FOV at a fraction of the price. I think the TV plossls are about the same degrees as the tak anyway. I definately dont take the xw out of the focuser, put the tak in and want to put the xw back in. Maybe I am just an oddball
.
