also, maybe the pros and cons of an longer fl eyepice plus barlow, vs. shorter fl for same relative magnification.
Barlow use: Pro: Long eye relief, generally easier to use Con: greater absorption (dimmer image if poorly coated)
If the Barlow is of good quality, the image with will be no less-sharp than that without.
In this case, personal prefference wins, IMO.
I must have missed the email - when is the eyepiece seminar???
TBD. Somtime this summer, after my workload eases a bit. Right now I'm doing 60+ hr. weeks, through April and maybe till June, if I live through it. ;)
