Goodbye Newts. Hello SCT

I got rid of all of my Orion newts (6LT and Pro 8). And purchased a new 8" Celestron SCT OTA with XLT. That stubby little tube on my Unistar deluxe and Bogen 3058 with the Denks is a solid performer and very user friendly. A definite step up by looking at the views. I think an 11" SCT OTA may not be far behind if my Unistar/Bogen combo can handle it. I just ordered a starsweeper. I believe my part S will perform just like a 2X multiplier with the magnifications being 1.7X on the nosepiece or 2.2X on the diagonal. Am I correct on that?, or am I off somewhat... thanks for the help.

With the 11" I seem to recall that that was so. With the 8" you should be close.
