ok, my current scope, according to the box, it has a 60mm objective, 800mm focal length, it came with a 25mm and an 8mm eyepiece and a 2x barlow. It has a wooden tripod, and its focus tube moves when it is even slightly out (i think it even moves when it is fully in. :sigh
but the dampening time is no more than 10 seconds at the most.
also, is there any place that i can host images, as i managed to take a nice picture of the southern cross and the surrounding area a few days ago with a digital camera using a one minute exposure.
