As Schmidt- Cassegrain Telescopes (SCTs) evolved from 8-inch models to larger-aperture scopes, and as eyepieces evolved from 1¼" to 2", the "Schmidt-thread" couplings used for securing 1¼- inch diagonals and eyepieces to telescope backplates remained unchanged. This "Schmidt visual back" supplied with your RCX or LX200 scope has an internal diameter of 1½", and it functions as a 1½ inch-diameter field stop. This field stop effectively limits the performance of your costly 2" optics to the equivalent of 1½" optics. When using the 1½" visual back with Meade's 2" 56mm Plossel (an eyepiece with a full 2" of glass in the nose) you loose 65% of the light to your eye! Do you think that the large diameter front lens (the "field lens") on your long focal length 2" eyepiece is there for decorative... Less
