I enjoy tack sharp views with my Pan. 35mm. (have a C8) my question is; how will the image appear if I employ a TV Big 2x Barlow..? this will increase my Mag. from 58X to 116X. Has anyone tried this combo..? and could you tell me if this would be a worthwhile venture? thanks, & I hoping your skys are clearer than mine are, John M. Astoria, OR.

I use a Big Barlow on my 31,20,17,12mm Naglers with very nice results. I am very impressed with how well the Big Barlow works. My 12mm Nagler Barlowed outperforms my 6.7UWA and my 15mm Ultrascopic barlowed. So I think the 35 Panoptic would work very well too.
I have not tried it but have used a 35mm Pan by itself, I see no reason for it to not work well.
