Thanks. The BHZ gives 15x - 45x, then the SvBony gives 45x-120x. The 36mm (2") gives me 10x & a 6mm exit pupil. Useful for an OIII filter on a 60mm aperture.

 

Nice coverage there, I like it!

 

I've just picked up a 24mm Tele Vue Panoptic! So, that resolves my '25mm supplied Plossl' upgrade question I reckon! 🫣🤣

Love that! 

 

I'm on a slow f/10 though...

 

I read a user on CN saying that that (paraphrasing) "rear cell opening on the 6SE is 26mm wide...so rather than spending on a 2" diagonal, I have got a f6.3 focal reducer and sticking with 1.25" EP's"

 

I'm unsure on the scientific accuracy & application here though, so will bow to others knowledge!

 

It sounds plausible. I normally use 1.25" diagonals on my 9.25" SCT, although I have used a 2" diagonal as I do enjoy 2" eyepieces. The Evolution just doesn't get out these days/nights however due to more recent health complications.

Although, for me anyway, 2" diagonals were literally made for rich field observation.
