Hi everyone,

I'm thinking of purchasing a small refractor so I can quickly
set up and observe (sometimes it gets to quite cold here!).
Browsing through the literature I see the following instruments
that might be suitable:


TeleVue Pronto 70mm f/6.4 Orion
Orion UltraScan 80mm f/6.5
Orion OmniVista 60mm f/7
University Optics 80mm f/6.25 (Kit)
Celestron SS-80 80mm f/5

Also, any of you Starry Messenger subscribers see ads for the
old TeleVue Oracle? What's its price generally?

Any comments on the above scopes or additional suggestions?

Thanks a bunch.

PS:

I don't receive this newsgroup so can you reply via e-mail and I
will post a complete summary.
