The 27Pan has a true FOV of one and a half degrees and the 12N has a true field of 8 tenths of a degree. According to Uncle Al, this is a near perfect spacing...
I'm not sure you can help us with this, but I'd like to see if you can. Spurred by Clyde's viewing yesterday of the planets, I went out early this morning, and...

... I agree, and I think Pentax got the spacing exactly right. In my 10" f/5 Dob, I don't use anything between my 30mm finder eyepiece and my 14mm Pentax ...
... Carol, I think it was just a combo of the scope not being cooled and how low the planets are in the sky. It was mid 20's on my roof yesterday and even my...
