I just got the Antares Shorty 2" barlow, and the shoulder to tip
masurement for the field end is exactly 40mm, so if the depth holds at
45mm, this is a go for safe insert, and will also be my que to go ahead
and get a Visual Paracorr. Is yours the Visual only unit?

Yes. Visual only. Tunable Top. Most eyepieces use the second notch outward
which gives you more clearance. The lens element seems curved the other way
than what I was concerned about. That is, it appears to be higher in the
middle than at the edge.

I'd say you're good to go, but, well, you know Larry, in the end, you're on
your own. g

Good luck, I'm sure you'll be fine.
