hmmm paracorr....I don't know the thought never actually crossed my mind. The Vixen LVWs did a very good job as it is. I tried my standard GSO plossls in the scope and the view was horrible to be honest, but with the LVW's it's nice and clean pretty much to the edge. There is a little bit of bloating at the edge of the FOV, but personally I never found it to be a big deal. Although that could be because I use the scope mostly for galaxy and high mag planetary nebula viewing!

I think I would see the benefits of the paracorr only in low-mag open cluster viewing, which to be honest is an exceedingly rare occasion with this scope!


btw, Melbourne is a synonym for cloud and rain!!
