I just picked up a Unitron 60mm x 700mm fl guidescope refractor. It's a pretty little thing with a pair of mounting rings and a 9mm 0.965 cross hair eyepiece.
I had a chance to take a quick look at M42, Saturn and Jupiter tonight and was very pleasantly surprised. I only have the one eyepiece so everything was at 78x. The stars were really pinpoints. There was just a little color on Jupiter that was hardly noticeable, but everything else was perfect. Everything was small compared to my other scopes, but I could see the Cassini division on Saturn and bits of detail on Jupiter's stripes. I had no idea how well this tiny scope would perform. I am hopelessly hooked on refractors.

There are only 10 kinds of people who understand binary - those that do and those that don't
