Hi Nesti,

Personally I'd be very careful about buying a 4mm e.p., even if you are thinking of a Nagler. 2 reasons:

1) the power. In your setup this equates to 381x magnification. You might find you are limited the number of times you find seeing adequate. I run a 9mm nagler in a 16" f/4, which is 200x and I find about 50% of the time I'm not happy with the images (of course when I am, wooo!)

2) Eye relief. I can't comment on the 4mm nagler, but I've seen some short f.l. eps which are not fun to use.

In my opinion if you find your 9mm meade 5000 very good (I love my 16mm), buy a powermate to get the power. Then get a paracorr if you are not happy with the images.

Regards

Glenn
