LOL, you're not alone! Once I forgot that my UHC filter was in my diagonal and I wondered why all the stars were so dim. Thought my corrector plate fogged or something...doh!

Just a few week back I put my Meade 8.8mm Ultrawide into my 2" focuser and it looked like the whole sky clouded up. I couldn't figure it out, checked to see if the objective fogged up, but everything looked good. Of course, in the 2" focuser, the eyepiece fits very nicely while it still has it's 1 1/4 lens cap on.
