Thanks Gary, not rambling, as I am sure every one here is uncertain to the perfect combo

I am thinking this combo is where I am heading eventually:

For viewing:

i would love 2 x 1.25" naglers in say 9mm and also 31mm. coupled with a 2x powermate in 2" (using my current 2" to 1.25" adapter). This gives me 4.5, 9 , 15 , 31 or 300x,150x,80x,40x - a nice spread!

For imaging:

digiscoping with the toucam (i have given up on and sent the eyepiece projection product back to supplier), i could image thru the 31mm for the wider views ie 40x for orion and then by using the 2x barlow, i can image at that 80x odd

prime focus with the toucam for planets I would get the 5x powermate for prime focus and 1500x and a focal reducer so that at prime focus without barlows i might be able to knock back the standard 300x back to 150 - 200
