Bitten by the Televue Bug

I'm stricken with the craze!  I was lucky enough to get a brand new 13mm T6 for my birthday a couple weeks ago. I bought a used 9mm T6 at about the same time. I started thinking that a 24mm or 35mm pan might be next.... maybe both down the road. In fact, some of you told me that you saw the 24mm in my future. I figured I'd wait for something used to show up.
Well I bought the 35mm Pan off Astromart the other day, the price was good. There was also a 24mm Pan on there that I missed out on by not being first. I started thinking about that 24mm pan last night after I went to bed. I know it would probably work better most of the time for my light polluted skies, and the 35mm is likely to get more use when I make the haul to a darker site. I was over come. I just had to get up and order that 24mm Pan. I figured while I was add it I'd order the Televue 3x barlow to compliment my Ultrascopic 2X barlow. It adds up to a lot of money spent in a very short period of time! 
In the dob that should give me:
34x, 50x, 92x, 133x (native)
100x, 185x, 267x (2x)
150x, 277x, and 400x (3x)
Heck that sure ought to satisfy me! 
I hope this bug is done with me for a while. It's expensive to feed, and I'm only going to be able to feed one of us. I don't even want to think about the Ethos variation, but yet it looms in the background.
