Hello everyone (mostly you lovely Brits)!

Just wondering if there is an Astronomical replacement zoom for this model scope? I know the Astronomical eyepieces are 10x better usually then the stock/standard issue eyepiece.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Getting a good eyepiece with the correct connecting thread size is not easy. I would first do a search on this forum with the word 'eyepiece'. In case someone has already mentioned a possibility. Take a look at the Baader hyperion eyepiece they may be compatible.

Just want to throw in a mini review on this scope. The image is bright and clear all the way up to 40x

One drawback to this scope and a reason why I may return it, is that the focusing is stiff, extremely slow and awkward!

Love the cordura case that came with it, very nice touch!
