Thanks Al, that may be a way to add a little more observing power to my
"optically
challenged" Meade DS 114 f-10 scope. Will have to check to see if it is cost
effective.
I thought R/C lens were only for photography purposes. What is the
difference optically
in using a 2x Barlow lens and the R/C lens? Which would provide the best
resolution
of deep sky objects?
Thanks,
Ken
