Thanks everyone for the advice. You're quite right Janoskiss, the 9mm with the 2.5x powermate would be too much. Originally, I was thinking of the 9 & 13 mm T6& the andrews 30mm 2" with a 2x 1 1/4" barlow. That woud give me a spread of 50x, 115x, 167x, 230x, & 334x which I thought was a good spread of powers,The highest power not too extreme for my scope.Then I had to go on the TV website didn't I and convince myself that barlows were no good and I had to have a powermate
which threw my plans into disarray!!
A few of you have reccommended the Panoptics. They don't give as wide a field of view do they? Are they as sharp or sharper than the naglers? I must admit I'd rather stay as wide as pos. can someone answer me this; If I use say the 9mm with a 2x barlow to look at the moon or Jupiter, will there be any diference in the image size or quality to say, using a 4.5 mm 60 degree EP of similar quality? Or will the image just stay in view longer with less tube moving?
Any opinions on the TV 2x 1 1/4" barlow?
