Pronto Purchase Question

Hi. I wondered if anyone who might be online Sunday might know the answer to this:

The Pronto is sold as a package (with 2" diagonal and extras), and as a simple OTA for a lot less.

My question: In the OTA-only configuration, will the Pronto accept my Televue 2" everbright diagonal? Or do I have to get the more expensive Pronto in order to use a 2" diagonal with it?

Thanks. macnmotion

The Pronto will accept any 2" diagonals. Their OTA is identical no matter which you get.

Andrew,

I'm not sure the OTA only Pronto comes with the clamshell. Buy used looking for a Pronto without the diagonal.

Mac,
This might prompt a "bragging rights" thread, but I bought a wonderful Pronto kit (clamshell, case, diagonal, 20mm TV Plossl, signed manual) for $625....shipped! I absolutely love the little scope!
