In a small refractor such eyepieces can give very wide and satisfying views of very big objects, such as the Magellanic clouds, while in a large Cat it might still struggle to get the Orion nebula in!
Nope... my 180mm f/15 mak will fit it nicely in a 2" eyepiece (the Vixen LVW 42 or LV50mm). Tack sharp edge to edge.
