Thanks for your expertise Steve. I think I can live with moving that much closer to the lens.

Another thing I was hoping to do with this eyepiece is add a 2x barlow to give me 3.5mm focal length (~428x magnification), which would be great when the seeing conditions allowed. I read a review on this particular eyepiece that said:

"adding a barlow increased blackout to uncomfortable levels"

Any idea why a barlow would do this? Is it something to do with the barlow increasing the eye relief? I've seem mixed comments about whether barlows do this or not
