Hello friends,
Given the highly-unlikely chance that one could find a second hand Traveler or f/7 Stowaway, which would be the better scope for general use and for travel? The Stowaway is of course lighter and has less aperture but I note on the AP website that the FLs, magnifications and FOVs are very similar. The finest telescopic view I have *ever* seen was the crescent moon and a single nearby star, through a Stowaway this spring. Does the Stowaway differ enough from the TeleVue 85, presently my travel scope, enough to warrant the change? All opinions will be gratefully received.
