I haven't used a barlow in a while and was thinking about trying a 2" 2X powermate, but have a few questions.
My main scope is a 14.5" 4.3 dob and a paracorr is always in the focuser. Would the powermate be used with or without the paracorr? I don't have balance issues with this dob and have to use small weights on the UTA when changing to a lighter EP, so the UTA could take the extra weight with no problem.
Will it be too much glass in the optical path?
I currently have 12 and 17 T4s and a 26T5, but would probably only use the powermate with the T4 EPs.
Anyone using these combinations out there?
Thanks,
