To a complete novice like me, I think what you are saying to me is that I will "see" more through a 2" ep. Therefore, can I assume it will make it easier for me to find objects?
I have tried using Stellarium v 0.10.3 Ocular module to mimick my viewing. It doesn't seem to use any 2" eyepieces.
Currently, I use Stellarium v 0.10.3 to check for targets. At the telescope I then use the 1.25" adaptor with my 25mm ep to get the widest possible view. Next step is to swap to my 10mm to try and fine tune my viewing. This is where the eye strain kicks in.
Adding a 1.25" (2x) Barlow makes tracking the object even harder.
Would having a 2 degree view instead of the current 1.3 degree make all that much difference?
I can't find much discussion on 2' versus 1.25' on the forum although I am sure it has probably been common.
