I am new to Paracorr ownership.
I use it only in my f5 12.5 inch Discovery Dobsonian reflector. Although I was not certain that it would be needed at f5 I had the opportunity to get one and I took it thinking at a later date I could sell it if I did not like it...let me tell you I can visually see an improvement and will never part with it.
For the most part I leave it in the focuser all of the time and use it with my Televue and Pentax eyepieces (which use different adjustable settings).
It works a treat and I do now notice a difference with it in and with it out...and I much prefer it in!
The major negative in my opinion is the added weight...combined with Telrad, dew heater etc. it made things a bit top heavy so I have made a sliding weight for the back of my dob to balance it out. It works well.
I don't mind the extra magnification at all...
Yes, I am a convert...
