In those slower scopes I am sure it will perform really well with sharp contrasty images.

John ..... my PortaBall only takes 1.25 Eyepieces and is of a ' Helical ' Design.

Superb in ' Fluorite ' TAK f/8.... I haven't got around to using it in my f/15 Refractor .

Excellent in ' slow ' f Ratio instruments.... more so Refractors

Cheers Col....
