Thanks everyone..good stuff

 

Yes, I've gone without THE CC for now, but will definitely get one at some point. Depending at what im viewing, it's tolerable.

 

Definitely skipping a new 16/17mm right now. Since I've been able to get out i realize I have plenty to work with. Just had purchase fever before. And I still have three 17mm Hyperion my friend gifted us.

 

Will definitely need something in 5-7mm range at some point. I wanted to see how much magnification I'll be able to squeeze out realistically. 

 

Thanks everyone. Great advice from all!!

I am not saying that everyone should go out and buy a fancy coma corrector.

And yet they should. All across this great land of ours, OEMs are languishing for want of sales. Who are we to put up with sloppy photons splashing hither and yon on the outer edges of the field when it lies within our means to fix it.

A vote for paracorr is a vote for Televue !
