Just got this as anxmass present for my dad. The below is a very good review about the travel scope.
http://www.cloudynights.com/item.php?item_id=2563
There is just one part of the review that I am keen to learnn more about.
"This scope is a good option for someone who wants an inexpensive scope that can be stored on a closet shelf in a tiny apartment or efficiency, or kept in a car or pickup truck for spur of the moment views. Traveling to tournaments is a breeze with everything stored in the backpack. Finally, a couple of inexpensive Plossl eyepieces and a prism star diagonal will really make this scope shine, improving performance exponentially"
What the hell are plossl eyepieces and prism stars :rolleyes:, and does this mean that i will be able to upgrade the travel scope as time goes by.
The scope will prob be used more for day time landscape/wildlife viewing, but it would be great to improve the power of the scope for night time viewing.
Thank you for any info

Plossl eyepieces are just the nickname for a basic type of eyepiece, they work really well! The smaller the mm size the greater the magnification but smaller the field of view as a rule. Dunno about the prism thingy sorry!0 -
