Hi all.
I'm just wondering what is the difference between a standard C5 astro scope
OTA and that of their spotting scope version? Are they exactly the same? I
deduced that since the spotting scope was used in the day, perhaps the
coating my be less stringent as compared with the old astro versions..
Anyone can calrify on this?
Thanks

Bought my C5 spotter in 1998. It has Starbrite coatings, came with a
45 degree erect image diagonal, and a teeny weeny finder scope. Of
course I use a 90 degree diagonal for astronomy and replaced the
finder with a Telrad and a 6X30. I think the original finder was an
8X20.
