No, that's Rick Tejera with the ETX-60. The 70mm refractor I used towers over
Rick's scope. I got one of the ETX-60 scopes at Costco as well, and gave it
away as a door prize a few months later when I hosted EVAC's Christmas party.
While Rick's may be the most used telescope of this model, the one I gave away
is now likely the *least* used (prod, prod).
Beside Glenn, my wife is over in the Mediterranean, actually south of it in
Egypt. The Pronto is too big, so she's using my 11x80mm finderscope with a
"high power" eyepiece for 30x.
