In Greek mythology, ambrosia was the sustenance of the gods. Some say that it was made of honey, water, fruit, cheese, olive oil and barley. In The Odyssey ambrosia has other uses, as in the present instance. Hermes' magic sandals, which enable him to fly, are referred to as "ambrosial".
Tantalus, who was condemned to eternal punishment for stealing ambrosia from the gods. (He was tantalized by lucious fruit always just out of reach.)
Looking through scopes is tantalising and everything we look at is out of reach.
That's why I've called the scope Tantalus.
