I'd like to hear any/all experiences anyone has had
with either of these televue scopes. I'm considering
the purchase of one of these and would like to load up
on as much info as I can before making any plunge.
I understand that viewing habits should be considered, but
I'd like to hear what your feelings about these
scopes are given your use.

I've used both. Unless you need extreme portability
(backpacking, birding) I'd go with the larger TV85
for the slightly higher resolution. TV85 also accepts
standard 95mm threaded filters, so you can protect that
nice lens from dust / dew in extreme conditions.
