Thanks, Leo.

Definitely worth experimenting with your 80’s Tasco. I will be interested to hear how you get on.

My old Tasco has baffles I fitted long ago and a Vixen 80mm lens cell I fitted after I accidentally chipped the lens and the agents suggested the Vixen lens cell as an easy replacement. Insurance covered the lens cell..
I've also added an adapter for my WO DDG Synta focuser (those 0.965" eyepieces were never good for my eyes).
