Collimating with a film canister will save you $$ give you skills and works well with practice-very satisfying.
Has anyone tried the Stratus EP's under 8mm ? The 8 is pretty large and has a razor adjustment point for focusing with even a good focuser. Is the 5mm for instance even more so?
Oh the 17mm Hyp/stratus in a 10" Newt gives a great viewing arc for nebula and clusters of all sizes, the 13mm is cutting them down in size a bit and you lose some outer features.
In retrospect i thought i should edit that last bit by saying that the 13mm barlowed is a better planetary EP giving a nice 192X magnification in a 10" f5 dob, the 17 mm only gives 147X barlowed but is still nice for high res. planetary viewing.
