Thanks for that tid-bit Geoff..To put it in laymans terms...Your saying not all eyepieces are 'corrected' to work in fast telescopes, their really designed for slow instruments. It's only since they've been producing fast scopes...mainly for amateur astronomers...that they realized they had to produce some 'corrected' EPs to overcome the coma created in a fast scope.(hence the invention of naglers/pentax & the like) So therefore, a paracorr would only work with EPs that have been specifically designed (corrected) to work in a fast scope.

I know this is the long version of what you just said, sorry about that.

One question: Are the meade 5000 series 'corrected' specifically for use in fast scopes?
