I played around with field sizes for the cass and greg section of my scope
optics.  It appears that I can use a large focuser, say 3" diameter. 
I know of no eyepieces that have this large format.  The f/D's of the cass
and greg systems are 18 and 37.  Do 3" diameter eyepieces exist?  If
so, where can I get them?  If not, what configuration would I use?  I know
Plossls are easy enough to build, but considering the huge field, would
something else be more appropriate?  The field size is .7 degrees total.
