Inspired by a modification someone had done with this scope and put on YouTube, I took this other Funscope and removed the two pins used to secure the 10mm proprietary
Then I attached a small piece of felt on the inside of the focuser:
Now any standard 1.25”
I took the scope outside and tested it with five different EPs (giving magnifications of 15x to 50x) on M42 and the stars around Orion – all five EPs came to focus and gave brighter views than the proprietary 10mm erect image
Using a 6mm Expanse
I was feeling under the weather, so I ended the session shortly after that. Need to test the scope on Venus and the Moon before I can give a final word on the optics. I also need to get the hang of navigating the Astroscan-like ball and socket mount under the night skies.
