If you're not in a hurry these types are easy to use and are very stable

I do not work for High Point, they are my local shop.

That's funny. In my post above, I originally had a link to High Point for the 130 and 114 sky watcher scopes. But since he specifically mentioned Amazon, I switched to a similar product there. I know that high point is a common source for scope gear for a lot of folks. I think I may have ordered some eye pieces from them many years ago.

I did have a larger (8") Zhumell dobsonian scope as my second scope back in the day, so I think the one that I recommended would also be a good buy of a similar style to the Sky Watcher that you posted.
