Is it possible to get a full view of large objects, such as the sun, with a C-11? And of course I would be using a solar filter. Also, when using a Barlow or Powermate does this increase the f/ ? How much does it increase? Do you multiply by the barlow's or powermate's magnification (2X, 4X, etc...)? TIA

The Sun & Moon will just fit inside the fov of a 35mm plossl-type eyepiece with a C11. Barely. 2" wide angle eyepieces (40mm Axiom, 35mm Pan, 31mm Nag, etc.) show a bit more...

Yes.

Depends on the "X" factor of the barlow.

Yes.
