Re: ATM "Short" Focal Length 2" Eyepieces?

["Bob May" <bobmay@nethere.com>]

Why bother as the lenses are generally so small and the FOV possible is so
small in diameter that the 2" barrel is a waste of space.  The Nagler EPs,
with the wide angle FOV that they have, are barely able to use the diameter
of the 2" barrel.  Go calculate what a 90deg. FOV (more than any EP
available) needs for an aperture stop and you will see what I mean.
