Bobbie, It doesn't appear that you copied the list, so I'm going to take the liberty of expanding the chances of someone responding to your question, since I personally don't own a travel scope. Anyone...? (Make sure you reply to all) --- Bobbie Kroeber <bobbiekroe@yahoo.com> wrote:

I have a question for you and other members right now. I am going on a Carribean cruise next month and thought I'd like to buy a little portable telescope to take along (I have a SkyQuest XT6 now but that is obviously too big to take). I was looking at a couple that Orion offers that are small and pack up nicely. One is the GoScope 350 that comes in a backpack and the other is the Transporter 70mm in its own carrying case. I was wondering if anyone you know has ever used either of these and what they think of them or if you know of any other small, packable scopes (for under $200) that you would recommend instead.

Hoping to hear from you soon, Bobbie Kroeber Sandy, Utah
