Get the 9 mm Synta Widefield/Orion Expanse, same optics as the "8.7mm Antares
W70" with not quite as fancy a barrel. The optics are in two sections, the
barrel has a "smythe/barlow" while the rear has the rest of the optics. They
just unscrew from the barrel.

I have one of these and I really like it, best of the lot. The 6 has some
problems with internal reflections, the 15 is decent but not as sharp to the
edge as the 9mm.

Scopestuff sells the 9 mm for $39 shipped to your door.
