Looking for a high quality, travel/grab-n-go short refractor.

I would love a Stowaway, but they seem unobtainable (at least on my budget) so...

The marketing stuff suggests that the TMB 92mm SS is a worthy alternative to the Stowaway.

The question is simple: is it? Would I be better off with a Sky 90? A Lomo 80/480? What else would you suggest?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi All

I have a nice little Unitron 60mm, trouble is that true to Roland's post about Unitron lenses it's only about 1/2 wave on the star test and won't take high powers very well. It's probably astigmatic as well.

I would like to use it as a grab-and-go scope. So the point is this: does anyone know how I could get the lens refigured to a decent level without paying some NASA subcontractor $50,000 to do it?

Thanks for your suggestions.
