Thanks for those thoughts, gives me something to ponder!
I guess I was thinking about the magnification more than the field of view, with my old scope I found I used 50x, 80x and 100x most often, with 150x and 200x only rarely used when seeing was good and with a discrete object. Having that 50, 80, 100 range allowed me to get the most suitable magnification, though now I think about it, you are right, the field of view would have come into the decision as to which eyepiece to use as well as the magnification.
I think in the longer run, I'd still like something at around 80x, but I wasn't going to rush out and buy anything anyway.
So, obviously the SCT is new to me and maybe I won't use it in the same way as I did my newt?
Also, I've been confused about 2" backs for the SCT as it is only high magnification or low AFoV 2" eyepieces that won't have vignetting right?
Do people really find 2" eyepieces in SCTs of this size useful?
