If this is right that means I would have to attach the powermate first and then the paracorr on top of that. This would mean I couldn't have the paracorr permanently connected? - I would have to keep removing it if I didn't want the powermate on.
Am I right about this? Do others use a standard barlow that (I assume) safely attaches on to the top of a paracorr meaning I could keep (the paracorr) on permanently?
Hmmm, this query is a bit long-winded; hope you can understand what I'm getting at!

From Televue via Bintel:
Note for Dobsonian/Newtonian Owners
When using Tele Vue’s Paracorr coma corrector, the 2.5x or 5x Powermate™ should be inserted into the Paracorr’s 1-1/4” adapter (i.e., between the Paracorr and the eyepiece). For 2x and 4x 2” Powermates, first insert the Powermate™ into the focuser, then the Paracorr into the Powermate.
