I am looking into a new finder scope for my 10" lx200. While most of my
problems, are due to my own ineptness, but we all have to overcome
something... Here are the issues I ran into:
1:Lack of focusing adjustment. Since I wear glasses, I would have to put on
my glasses to view into spotting scope, and was more comfortable with them
removed when viewing thru the LX. Tough to do while wearing a hat.
2: The magnifaction was to large. Being unfamiliar with the sky, I had a
hard time fixing the scope on the stars I wanted. A zoom would be nice. A
dark Wyoming sky makes it worse. More stars to be confused by.
3: The cross hairs were miserable. Of course it didnt help that I was
trying to align up the finder scope on a dark cold night. But I just could
not get comfortable with them.
Any recommendations ?
Thanks
