I have a couple of EPs of 40mm, and I use them, well, try and use them to find the area of comets and galaxies, then would pop in a higher mag Ep. this has never worked too well, and this is why. Star hopping would be Ok though, and the view would be just dimmer due to less light coming in. Never realised that before.

Would a 2" 40mm let in much more light than a 1 1/2"?

Have no plans for a Paracorr (yet) .... do many people use them?

I do have plenty of good quality EPs in my collection, so less problems by the sounds, in regard to coma/astigmatism.

Will keep on reading about it, as interesting stuff.
