26mm nagler worth it???

Posted By Nattee Chotinun

Todd,
If you already have mostly naglers, then the 26mmT5 should be part of the collection! I have the 26mmT5; it's the only nagler I have. I use it in a 15" f/5 dob, 10" f/10 SCT, 8" f/6 dob, a MN56, and a C5. It's my favorite eyepice for low-power, wide field view. I really like using it with a 2" O-III filter for viewing the Veil Nebulae.

I used to have the 35mm Pan and before that the 27mm Pan. The view in the 26mm is much better, especially in my 15" f/5 dob.

Cartoon Character Stars

I owned a couple of SCTs. One is a 10" Meade and the other is a C5. When the seeing is bad, I have seen what could be described as a fuzzy star in my 10". It will not focus down to a disk. Instead, the star looks like a fuzzy, spiky ball. When the seeing is good (and the scope have time to cool-down), I do see a disk. Give it a try on a night of good seeing and allow at least one hour for the C6 to cool-down.
