G'day Ziggy
Don't feel hard done by if you forgo the Naglers and Panoptics. These EPs only give of their best with "fast" scopes. As someone already stated, your "slow" F10 SCT will work perfectly well with more modestly priced EPs. And you need not feel insulted by that. Why spend more if you don't need to!
I live in a pretty heavily light-polluted suburban area (Wollongong) and I can say that unless I go to either of my astronomy clubs outings, the 9 mm T4 Nagler is rarely taken out of its box. The 220 X magnification it yields in the LX90 is very poor quality.
FWIW the 32 mm UO Konig (2" format) purchesed from Frontier Optics gets the most use followed by the 17 mm T4 Nagler.
You will find a wealth of telescope info here and also on "Cloudy Nights". In particular, look up their tests and review section. You will find it very useful.
And now, crappy skies or not, I'm getting the scope out.
Great viewing all.
Mark.
