Hey, sorry to invade your private journal. But not too long ago I posted in tqc asking about telescopes for my son. You recommended a really good one, but I've since lost my bookmarks. Can you remember what you recommended?

I just recall that it was small and bulbous and could be carried easily.

Thanks!

The Astroscan! From the venerable Edmund Scientific. The factory store was near my house growing up and I would often wander around in it for hours. They had a working WWII era submarine periscope!

How is the telescope working out?

We're taking it down to Elephant Butte this weekend to officially try it out. I need to get a tripod for it. I can't believe I didn't think of that. Like at all.
