IMHO the strength of the LV's/NLVs are to be found in the shorter FL's when used with a tracking mount etc otherwise I think you are better off with any of the widefield EPs on the market like Vixens own LVW or of course TVs like Pans/Naglers etc.

Just some food for thought
Thanks Profiler ... Had a look at the NVL's ... will pursue these earlier types for a while.
