I had a problem where my portable rig was tight to fit into its flight case so took the decision to replace the 60mm guide scope with this 32 mm one. I had some doubts about its small size but tests show it works well.
Although two cosmetic versions are shown the version supplied by Flo was black. Its beautifully made. The only challenge was that I did not realise is a left handed turn on the focus but soon realised I was turning it the wrong way.
The stars are really tight with no halo's so did not require an ir filter.
One side benefit is that the small aperture soon shows that the stars are lost if clouds roll in so stops you ploughing on with imaging when the sky is lees than optimal.
Can recommend this scope.
