I don't  plan to digiscope with this scope.The Zoom is actually cheaper to buy than the DS eyepiece.  I don't normally wear glasses with this scope. If I bought the Zoom I would just sell the "smaller" zoom. I could just sell the big Zoom later if not happy with it. I just can not decide.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />  I "think" I would be better off with the wide angle DS eyepiece at 24x. I guess what I am asking is there going to be that much difference between the 20x-45x Zoom in my 60mm Fieldscope and the 20x-60x Zoom other than the higher magnification?  Right now I "mostly" use 20x-30x with the Zoom.Regards,Steve</blockquote>
