In that instance I highly recommend binoculars. Fujinon makes a wonderful 10x70, and the Russian big binos are a pretty good deal. I’ve had my 20x90s for fifteen years now.Actually just cancelled the order. I'm looking for a smaller travel size, easy to use and not expensive one.
That reminds me. I hiked in to the old river camp and picked my oranges a couple three nights ago. (not near as smooth as the sun though)International Space Station in front of the sun, in broad daylight. (Photo by Andrew McCarthy/South West News Service)

I have a spotting scope I picked up in thrift store or pawn shop that I use ten times as much as my bigger scopes.Actually just cancelled the order. I'm looking for a smaller travel size, easy to use and not expensive one.

Nice....what were u thinking of getting, or were getting?Kids are getting a telescope for Xmas. I can't wait to use it too
It was a $100 amazon "deal" I found cheaper and off amazon the reviews where crap. But now I'm at square one and don't really know what to buy. It's just a stepping stone for them....if they show interest I'll upgrade. If not well then maybe I should just get something to bring camping or in the jeep that can look at the stars. Still looking closer to $200 if you want a tripodNice....what were u thinking of getting, or were getting?

Also it a good idea to get a polarizing filter for viewing the moon...just makes it easier on the eyes so the Moon doesn't blind you when you look at it...This is also nice.
The trouble is the mount. It’s good for low elevations but crap for near zenith.This is also nice.
I remember that now that you mentioned it.The trouble is the mount. It’s good for low elevations but crap for near zenith.
Libraries often have ones you can check out.if they show interest I'll upgrade. If not well then maybe I should just get something to bring camping or in the jeep that can look at the stars. Still looking closer to $200 if you want a tripod
Still patrolling Craigslist might score a high value opportunityI'll look into those but I'd be highly doubtful of finding anything out here. I am in pretty much nowhere....not to many people like it here year-round.
