I don't know about the Spriatone Teletech but does it allow
interchangeable eyepieces, or does it have an eyepiece built in? I know
the Nikon made adapter (and also the Canon one, I think) have built in
eyepieces. This makes them very inflexible, at least in an astronomical
context. And isn't Spiratone out of business anyway? I've not seen one
of their ads in ages.
