Many thanks. I needed to know I was not barking up the wrong tree. This is why longer tubes have wider eyepieces I suppose. Otherwise the problem gets worse. A 10" f5 reflector witha 1.25" eyepiece would only have a TFOV of 27/1250x57 = 1.23 degrees, even with a 2" focuser only gives 46/1250x57 = 2.1 degrees. If you really want wide views you need short tubes...
