Thanks for your input, Don and Jonathan.
Don, I always appreciate the thought which goes in to your answers. I can't stand coma...it is driving me batty at the moment with the 22 Panoptic, which I would estimate becomes noticeable in all but the central 10% of the FOV. As I have a particular penchant for open clusters, this is a major issue which I am immediately resolving by ordering the Paracorr. It will be interesting to see how the 22 Panoptic performs with a Paracorr, as in all respects other than coma, I have always loved using it (it performed beautifully in my 10" LX200).
Jonathan, given that our scopes are pretty much identical, I am interested to hear more about the 35 Panoptic vis a vis 31 Nagler choice. I have been puzzling over this selection myself, bearing in mind the major price difference, and that the difference in actual FOV is fairly minor. The reviews on this issue have held as a consensus that the 31 Nagler wins out overwhelmingly in terms of contrast and light throughput. Have you had a chance to compare the two eyepieces on those particular characteristics?
