Ariel, My limited experience on a small yacht (with SNO-T) shows that for most observations when it really sails you cannot use any scope. I recommend a zero-mag tube (can be found in Celestaire). Some yacht authorities say the same. For observations in a harbor or at anchor or is still weather you can use the inverting scope. Alex.
