There is also an overall softening effect throughout the entire image when using this filter. The direction of the points is controlled by rotating the filter.

Q: 6. I have a 2x Powermate and mount it directly to the 90 degree Televue Everbrite dielectric on my TV-85 for viewing with both the eyepieces and attaching my DSLR via the Powermate adapter with T-ring. Is this how the 4x mounts as well?

A: If I undestand your question correctly, I say YES. I have used my 4x Powermate on my Meade 7 LX200 Mak-Cass with a 2 Diagonal. I dont really need that much magnification on my scope when viewing VISUALLY, why I bought it was for shooting Prime Focus using my Canon T3i DSLR. For this it performed flawlessly. Im pretty sure you are aware these Powermates are a step up from the lowly Barlow and its quite noticable once you've used both and compared the differences ! Just be sure you have the 2 adapter if you are using this 2 Powermate. Aside from that, keep looking up ! :-)
