- Hi everyone,
-
- I'm thinking of purchasing a small refractor so I can quickly
- set up and observe (sometimes it gets to quite cold here!).
- Browsing through the literature I see the following instruments
- that might be suitable:
-
-
- TeleVue Pronto 70mm f/6.4 Orion
- Orion UltraScan 80mm f/6.5
- Orion OmniVista 60mm f/7
- University Optics 80mm f/6.25 (Kit)
- Celestron SS-80 80mm f/5
-
- Also, any of you Starry Messenger subscribers see ads for the
- old TeleVue Oracle? What's its price generally?
-
- Any comments on the above scopes or additional suggestions?
-
- Thanks a bunch.
-
- PS:
-
- I don't receive this newsgroup so can you reply via e-mail and I
- will post a complete summary.
