2. When I had my LX200 12" with a Panoptic 41mm I could
see the whole full Moon. Is this possible with a 14"?

Thanks

Judging by the eyepiece calculator here http://www.davidpaulgreen.com/tec.html

You will go from 0.9 degrees to 0.8 degrees true field of view with the Pan41 in going from the 12" to the 14". You could always try a 2" AP 0.67x reducer or the 0.75X 2.7" one works. I have that one, I use the AP 3.25" to 2.7" adapter, then the reducer, then the 2.7" to 2" adapter, then my 2" diagonal on my RCX (which doesn't have the eyepiece-end microfocuser that the LX200 will have though)

An aritcle on Orion's website says the full moon is 0.5 degrees (thought it was closer to 1 degree....)

If you'll need one of these, adapters , I have one I don't need PM me if you want it cheap!

I thought the same thing. I did have a little room to spare
with the 12" and Panoptic 41.

Let me see which scope I get first. The 14" is at the top of my list.
