Can I use 1.25" diagonal in 0.96" scope?

Posted By Colin Decker
Bought an older Pentax 85-f1000-refractor. OEM is a .96" digonal, prism, which is good quality but I dont want to invest in new .96" eyepieces for a number of reasons. How can I tell if a new 1.25" diagonal will work with this scope regarding fit, also concerned with inability to achieve focus. Many thanks, colin

A little fuzzy on which system would be required for the Televue 76 refractor. Is the 1.25 inch vs 2 inch a light/field of view issue or a compatability issue? What do I need to make this puppy work, believe I have come down with the fever! Many thanks, colin

Eyepiece recommendations?

Posted By Colin Decker
Think the Televue 20 plossls are an excellent value for a binoviewer. Clear, sharp, contrasty and good eye relief. Coupled with a Powermate can give a nice range of magnification. Good place to start until you can no longer resist the Pans. cd

Can the alignment stars be replaced later in the viewing session ?. Like on my nexstar i can replace the alignment stars to help keep it updated and on line.
