The EP's which come with the tasco are only average to bad, with a good quality EP in my tasco has made a 100% improvement which has made things more enjoyable, the mount, well it does the job and only that but it has not put me off this little telescope at all. Why i don't have bigger and better is that when i have some cash to spare there is more important things that have to come first to me, untill that time comes to me for bigger and better i know i can still enjoy the great views with my Tasco.  |
That is a very good point. I once owned a 114mm Tasco reflecter. With the eyepieces supplied the performance was abysmall. But when I used it with a quality eyepiece (25mm LV) it was transformed into a great little rich field scope.
