Lash 'em up!

Inspired by a thread on cloudynights: - show us the most outragous eyepiece/paracorr/barlow stack you dare create! The point is whether these absurd combos are fun to look at, not whether they're ideal to look through.

Empty Magnification???....

I entered at CN so I'll post the same piccies here.
Mine might look absurd, but let me just say that my entry works absolutely great

Its a Vixen R130 newt modified to take a 2" crayford. With paracorr and 31nagler I get a nicely corrected 3.5 degrees of widefield bliss
