The TV-60 is for someone who wants a very small (10.5" long) APO
telescope that can fit into a large coat pocket. If you want a
high-end scope that can give you a 4.3 deg. field of view and at high
powers be able to resolve the rings of Saturn. It fits onto any photo
tripod for use as a spotting scope w/ interchangeable 1.25" eyepieces.
This scope can be attached to other scopes via a quick release mounts
to be used as a very sharp 60mm F/6 wide angle imager or finder.
I hope this helps.
