Also using a 2" diagonal/eyepieces on the 8" SCT with a William Optics binoviewer; just put on the 2-1.25" adapter and you're good to go; saves you $2000 minu $200 (WO price) bucks.

Best,



You need a true 2" binoviewer with 40mm clear aperture to reach infinity focus with 2" eyepieces and not see vignetting with a 40mm fieldstop.
40mm VP units $999 T-2 or 2" Base 2" EP's scopes (EVPbinoM240)
