Assuming the collumination is correct and the problem is a poor eyepiece will the C90 or the C135 outperform the Regal 100 because of the longer focal length of the C scopes? No sense to buy another scope if I can get the performance I need with a simple change of eyepieces.
No. The focal length just means you will acquire different magnification with one specific eyepiece.
(For example a 17mm eye piece will show a far bigger magnification in the C90 if compared to the regal)
C90, C5 and so... are cheaper because the design(catadiotric) is cheaper to make.
It uses mirror to condense the light instead of lenses.
The design do not show the same contrast you will be able to find in refractors.
If you want the best image possible, refractors are the way.
The only way to see even better images than spotting scopes is to remove the porro prism and using a star diagonal(reversed images left to right).
