Firstly, my scope is not an Edge HD, just a run of the mill 925.

Over the few years I have had my scope I have managed to collect a bit of a ragtag assortment of eyepieces (Mostly from Ice Trade!) some 2" Celestrons E-Lux, a nice widefield Meade (68 degree 34mm (edited to fix the typo! it is not a 43mm) the original 40mm Celestron E-Lux 1.25" that came with the scope, a couple of TV Plossls and an 11mm Nagler.

I am starting to think about consolidating my EP family a bit. I have found myself gravitating towards wider views lately and the Celestron seems to spend the most time in the scope.

The basic question, has anyone had an experience good or bad with the ES 82 degree line, specifically in a C925? And has anyone used them with a focal reducer? I would love a couple of long FL Naglers but the budget just does not stretch to it. I am considering moving anything up to ALL my existing family and starting again (I might hang on to a couple of the shorter FL 1.25" jobs for planetary views) At the extreme end I would like to eeke out the greatest useable true field that my scope can provide. I could probably afford to snag myself a secondhand dob off the trader section, but I am not sure that the marriage would stand explaining why I need another scope!

Any suggestions or experiences with the ES line? I do like the combination of wide AFOV and wide TFOV.
