I suppose my biggest concern is that by pushing for the largest true field I can get I may expose a weakness in the scope itself. No point adding to the TFOV if it ends up perpetually distorted or out of focus.
I suppose in my case, the question for the floor would be to owners of 9.25 Celestrons, what wide field EP have you got and how does it perform?
Taking the obvious "Wow" object, it would be great to frame M42 a bit wider to be able to take it all in in a single field of view.
Celestron do not list field stop diameters but there is no obvious stop inside the barrel of the 40mm so it probably gives about as large a TFOV as can be had in a 1.25" format. Even taking the same TFOV and spreading it around a larger AFOV would probably increase the wow factor.
I do like my Nagler, but it is a touch finicky about eyeball position. Wonder how the 31mm nag would go!
