Wish you would'be asked .....


B4 you bought ; anyway, what will be your primary usage? Day or night? Scopes are rated by aperture not power and your field of view will be small in that scope which will be somewhat frustrating for you at night and with only about 3.5 inches of aperture you will be very limited for night use. Be fine for moon, Jupiter's main cloud bands/ Galilean moons, Saturn's rings and the brightest deep sky objects. Objects will fairly quickly move out of the field of view, the lower the F ratio, the wider the field of view. For just a little more money I would have suggested a 6 or 8 inch dobsonIan reflector, the more aperture, the more detail can be seen. Eyepieces: go with plossl, affordable and good perfornance
