[mou] help with scopes?????

[dan&erika]

Get the most expensive one you can afford.  I suggest going to National

so I could compare the optics.  There was a big difference!

Getting a scope, by the way, was the best thing I ever did.  Its really
changed my birding and opened up digital bird photography for me.
