Nice riposte Rod!

Thanks guys for the responses. If you guys can't tell any difference where the filter's placed, then there's no way I'm going to. So that's good to know.

Just looking at the prices of these filters, I find it hard to accept buying one 2" filter, when I could buy two 1.25" filters for the same price, or less!

And as the 22mm Pan is going to be my main eyepiece for a while, maybe that's the way I should go. But I'm always trying to look ahead, and what if I get 2" eyepieces?? Will have to give it some more thought.

Still, as I said, it's good to know that it doesn't affect performance greatly where the filter is placed.

I like the sound of your motor focuser Rob, but for the time being I'm happy to stick with visual observing. I did think about an electronic focuser actually, but it seemed convenient to just get both diagonal and focuser together from WO.

Rod, I see you have the WO Crayford, have you received it yet? If so, how does it work for you?

Anyway, once I decide which size to get, then I have to decide which make to purchase

But it's all fun

Glen.
