Morpheus eyepieces.

I myself would NEVER even think of using even my Deloi ,Naglers, Orthos etc without a paracorr/ coma corrector in a fast dob as some of them are left wanting without one; this is what I think Bill is implying here; that you are going to use a coma corrector like just about everyone else in this situation.

Bill, as has Don Pensack, have given what I believe from personal experience, to be correct and honest reviews, with no brand pushing, and as he states it's a "personal " thing.

A Paracorr is not needed once you get to higher powers.....especially for the ones I have picked. In fact, I have wisely chosen my eyepieces, so that one isn't needed. Yes, I am aware what a Paracorr / Coma Corrector does, and I have used both before myself.....But I choose NOT to use one, as I don't want extra glass to fiddle with.

22mm LVW
10mm Pentax XW
7mm Pentax XW
5mm Pentax XW

I also had a 34mm Meade 5000 SWA which was fine without a Paracorr, but I am also aware that a paracorr does clean up coma which comes from the mirror, especially in longer FL eyepieces. I've been studying and practicing Astronomy for over 30 years.

"Comparing the off-axis performance of the Morpheus to the Pentax XWs, the Morpheus performed as well in all corresponding focal lengths using the XT10 with Paracorr, the SCT, and the refractors, except for the 14mm focal length where the Morpheus did a better job than the XW"

These comments ABOVE mentioned a Paracorr....not without, which I just wanted to ask about.

And what is THIS below all about?????

WRONG.

"Everybody" does not use a CC as you try to imply here. Sorry.

Not implied - stated?

Yes, it is stated ONLY because you said so.....not because there is PROOF that everybody uses a CC / paracorr. Everybody does NOT use one with a short FL scope.

END OF.

I have a Paracorr, but don't use it that often. I'm treading on thin ice saying this, but despite what the Paracorr does well, I still see some negative aspects because of the "extra glass". But that's me.

I know there are lots who leave it permanently in their focusser and that's good by me too
