Hi Trevor,

Because those small Schmidt Cassegrains and Maksutovs have a narrow baffle tube, you are really limited to using 1.25" diameter barrel eyepieces in those scopes. Whilst you can physically use eyepieces having a 2" diameter barrel with a 2" diagonal, they will not work properly and will vignette the outer area of the FOV.

Cheers,
