The ShortyPlus is the only one I use now.

One is screw attached to a Skywatcher digital imager, barely qualifies.

But one more wouldn't go astray.

One Houghy! The famous 2" GS 2x Barlow. Used occasionally, but I pulled it apart tonight to place the barlow lense section on the bottom of my 2" widefield EP.

Haven't tried it yet.

Have the 1 2X GSO - but I'm finding, I get "more pleasing" results with just the 2" wide field. Perhaps time will tell.

Lance,
Isn't the 2" ep great. Much more comfy to use than the 1 1/4".
