2" Vs 1.25"...............in laymen terms would be good.
Malcom...I think I will be getting a 24mm Pan ... (reviews sound very impressive)
I just need to get my head around weather I should go 1.25 inch or 2"
I'm not sure I like to much glass, if it means I have to move my head or even move my eye around too much. Not sure if I am explaining this right...but...I think I have experienced this with some Ep's ...
Like I don't mind looking around a bit, but getting a nice eyeful in one go that requires little movement of my muscle is much more pleasing than having to look from one side to the other...of course this is most likely my own querky thing...and more to do with target and field of view, however...fact is....I have not tried anything in a 2" less than a 32mm or thereabouts...I did have a 1.25 12.5mm ED (AOE>>>rebranded>>>now closed) that had more glass atop than a 15mm plossl ... and it was pretty good on the moon with my 12" dob and not too bad for slowly dragging across large nebula such a carina...which is why I think I might have to consider a decent 13mm as well...plus mabe a 7mm for planets...The rest I'll go budget...or should I say cheap, with many who regard $300.00 as mere budget for an EP...
