I was looking at buying a top-end scope, probably the Swar ATS80HD, when I had the opportunity of looking through the 20xw eyepiece of the Leica Apo-Televid 77. What struck me, in comparison with most other scopes, was the lens width of the eyepiece which was very large and made viewing very easy.
Taking this a stage further to digiscoping, is this an advantage that the Leica has over other scopes? I noticed in the March Bird Watching mag. that one of the test panel reviewers of the survey of scopes was Steve Dudley who specifically mentions that he uses the 20x eyepiece on his Leica Apo-Televid 77 for digiscoping?
Is this worth knowing - or is it a relatively useless piece of info!
thanks
