Hi John

I like your Kiddie-Scope.  It's what needed to get kids interested in astronomy and being in the dark and enjoying the sky at night.  You have plans for the scope or do you make them or what?? I have twin grandsons that I sent binoculars to for Christmas last year and they love them and a scope for them to share is a thought I have for this year.

I'm enjoying the scope length conversation, I'm into convenience and ease of transport.  My car (BMW 5 series) is not big enough to haul big gear or tons of stuff, though I am thinking of getting a pick up w/ a shell.  Hummmmmm ........

aloha
