Hi Bbbbllaacckkppeeaaarrrllll, So SORRY. It's a natural reaction. Can't see anyone on these forums. I profoundly appologise for my error.
(does this sound like grovelling)?
Plastic covers of any kind are better than cloth, which lets the dust/spidys/bugs thru.
RULE #1. APERTURE WINS.
RULE #2. " " " " " " " ".
MAGIC Number = 50.
(Max. theoretical mag. of t'scope, is Aperture in inches X by 50. e.g. 10" x 50 = 500x). Most viewing is done between say, 35x and 300x.
I/we recommend an 8" as minimum, but a 10" is better. If big car/budget, 12" or whatever fits.
ps. Don't opt for the cheaper E/Ps. Buy 1 or 2 good ones to start + good Barlow.
