What I can also tell you is that Televue's Dioptrix is the answer for only some people and not the answer for a lot of people, me included.

Thanks John. I read through your suggestions, but I gotta tell you, it is so much more comfortable looking through eyepieces without glasses (for me!).

I am pretty intent on observing without glasses, so aside from the astigmatism issue which can in theory be corrected using Dioptrix, my question really is whether it is possible for an ordinary focuser to correct for my level of extreme myopia - minus 12. Or will I have to purchase specialized equipment? As I may have mentioned, ordinary binoculars simply won't focus for my level of myopia.

Cheers
