However.........................

Smaller scopes have many advantages over larger ones

1. Large scopes 99% of the time need a fixed location
2. Smaller scopes can be put up/taken down moved about
3. Smaller scopes (refractors) can double as terrestrial scopes, birding
4. You can easily take a small scope in the car for a weekend

I have large and small, yet the most used is my 72mm ED, it has been used for bird watching at nature reserves, at the beach, Astronomy and what it was intended for, Solar
