I am pretty sure it was 3" and should probably have been smaller.

A small scope that gets used often is a better investment than a big scope that stays in the closet.

Unitrons, you spend more time looking at them than you do through them.

Astronomics carries old manuals in its library section on the left of the home page. You could do everyone a service by giving them a copy of the manual. regards Greg N

Just heard back from Kirk - he's sorry its down because of a server move, will bring it back up hopefully next week - he's the Yahoo group's Odyssey Telescopes Group Moderator if you wanted to know. PM me if you have trouble finding it after next week, or hunt him down.
