Can you tell me what the inside diameter would be on a tasco magnum 525 (I know, I read your opinion of them on Fix ya) and there is no eyepiece. I got a used one and want to use it to view the moon and look for deer, moose etc across the bay from my cottage. I followed your link to the agnea site but there are none listed for this model. I got a diameter of 15 /16" and there is nothing close to that in diameter. Any help would be appreciated. my address is rzanussi at shaw ca thanks Rob
Asked by rzanussi
Sounds like a .965 inch eyepiece is what you need. These are somewhat hard to find but not impossible. Try Ebay and or this fellow:
