Hi All

I am looking at buying a 2", 40 or 50 mm focal length EP for my scope. I have read much of the past posts and advice given to others about very long focal length eyepieces in this type of scope. These tell me that :-

1 There are no problems using these long focal length eyepieces or

2 There will be considerable vignetting at this focal length and/or

3 You will see an image of the secondary mirror in the middle of the field of view with very long focal length EPs so I am somewhat confused by these contradictory messages.

Before spending the dollars for a good 40 or 50 mm eyepiece is there anyone out there who has a 10" ACF and has used an EP of 40mm focal length or longer?
