22mm LVW
10mm Pentax XW
7mm Pentax XW
5mm Pentax XW

I also had a 34mm Meade 5000 SWA which was fine without a Paracorr, but I am also aware that a paracorr does clean up coma which comes from the mirror, especially in longer FL eyepieces. I've been studying and practicing Astronomy for over 30 years.



These comments ABOVE mentioned a Paracorr....not without, which I just wanted to ask about.

And what is THIS below all about?????

.

WRONG.

"Everybody" does not use a CC as you try to imply here. Sorry.

WRONG!!!

"Like JUST ABOUT everyone else" .

NOT IMPLIED-STATED!!

PS: Have no further interest in this discussion


Cheers bigjoe.
