My Astra IIIB came with a 3.5x40 telescope. Celestaire also sells a 6x30 telescope, and a zero-mag sight tube. I've read the online description of telescope sizes (http://www.celestaire.com/page8.html), but am curious--what are people actually using? It appears that the 6x30 would potentially give better accuracy for lunar distance sights. But I've never tried to reduce a lunar distance, let alone shoot one. I know Ken would love to sell me both a 6x30 and a zero-map :)
