Re: Eyepiece quality


Google on StarBlast, and see what you think about it. It is certainly
compact, and regarding portability, can be carried with one hand.

My local telescope shop doesn;t seem to offer the Orion Starblast but they
do have one very similar - A Skywatcher 114m for £125. It has a motor drive
(which I am not sure if I need or will use) and it looks from the pictures
to be the very similar in form to the StarBlast.
It looks compact which is something I think I will have to take into
account.
Im going there next weekend to take a look at what is on display and i'll
probably purchase there and then - its only 10 minutes up the road from me
which is very handy.

As a newcomer to telescopes I wonder if the whole upside down business
through a reflector will be a problem - ive been using binoculars for ages.
I guess it may be another thing to get used to with experience. Are there
any eyepieces that turn the image the right way up?
