[COLOR="Purple"]Just curious, does anyone here have a LiteBox scope? Anyone here used one if you don't own one?

How are they?
Thanks!

Bill,

Well one year after your question here's one answer anyway. I have owned a 15" Litebox for about seven years now, used it quite a lot for 4 years or so. It is a sweet well made telescope. It is indeed 'lite' - see the website for specs, but very portable. The mirror has its own detachable case/cover which I think is genius. Eyepiece height is perfect. You pick your own mirror - so that's your call.

I also own an 8" Portaball that was simply wonderful to use - but after I got the Litebox the Portaball saw far less action. I think that says something. Now - why did I answer this dusty old question???? Probably just as some sort of karma kudos to the scope's original builder smile
