Hi Ben,
Who says the 70mm f7 Refractors are rubbish??? Not me, no sir!
Have had one as a finder scope for a few years now, drop in a 24mm 68º eyepiece such as the ES 24 and you get 3.4º TFOV…thats a lot of sky.
I'm presently making a couple of flanges for mine so I can put a 2" Helical focuser on it and use big 2" eyepieces, which I hope will give a reasonable 5º TFOV.
Enjoy your scopes anyway you can!
Matt
