... WG: Dorothy, a Binoviewer (BV) is a wonderful appliance if it is made well. Generally, I do not recommend them on scopes below 6-inches. They excel on...
Wayne, Last night I put a barlow in the back of the scope and then the 90 degree diagonal. When Arcturus left the field of view I did not see the arc of...
