A VERY CUTE, VERY CHEAP scope for Rod Mollise

Here is what I would suggest as your next small scope upgrade.

Clearance priced, while they last...

http://hardinoptical.com/starhoc80.html

Then sell the mount and swap/sell to a 2" focuser (easy switch high
quality units are available from several sources like Telescope
Warehouse for $50). Your total investment $200 vs. $500 for the
optical clone from Stellarvue. The Hardin STAR HOC 80mm is also a
guaranteed product from a highly reputable seller.

I have no affiliation with the seller.

Clear skies,

Pete
