Is that a sentinel equivilent Rob? Great looking scope for a good price!

Dunno about smaller, looks like they are admitting it's 62mm clear aperture

[GordonCopestake]

lol, yeah but it's a 66mm scope

[crepitis]

I like the idea of using a bottle of Furstenberg for a size comparison !

Had me interested straight away, and then I realised it was a telescope they were selling..D'oh !.

Cheers, Bob.

Send him a message, perhaps the beer is for sale too!

It's a sweet looking little scope, but it's still a 62mm scope. I would perhaps buy it for birdwatching, but not for astronomy, really.

[GordonCopestake]

I'm currently the proud owner of a 60mm scope, and it lacks both light grasp and resolution. No matter how well made or APO a 60mm scope is it's still a 60mm scope. How Williams Optics et all sell the 66mm scopes i dont know. I'de draw a line at 80mm being the bear minimum. I mean, just how portable do you want it to be?
