I just received the Adorama catalog and there is a Pro-Optic right angle "C" 
type 2.5x magnifier for $89.95. I don't know if the quality is the same but it 
looks like a good buy.

Subject: [AZ-Observing] DLSR Focusing


I'm looking for the group's opinion on DLSR focusing when taking
astrophotos. I find that when I have the camara body mounted in prime focus
(Canon XTi to a 8" or 11" SCT) it is dificult to assess focus and to date
the results haven't been "stellar". I was looking at the Canon magifying
angle finder "C" which has 1.25x and 2.5x and runs about $180 delivered.
Other options or tricks?
