Question
I recently acquired the above model.  Is there any place to buy new lenses?

Answer
Scott, I live in the city, I can never see much of anything with my telescope.  I am way out of practice.  Even at the local colleges, with their humongous telescopes, when they have public "open sky night" the stars are still mostly obscured by the ambient city light...  Tom Whiting and Paul Wagner are the real experts here, when it comes to telescope issues.

I always defer to their opinions about telescope stuff.

Expertise

I am not a professional astronomer by any means, but astronomy has been an interest of mine since childhood, and I am well-informed on the subject. If unable to answer someone`s question personally, I will know how to quickly find the answer online, because I keep myself informed about developments in the field and I know where to look for information.

Experience

I worked in an observatory for awhile at one point, doing various interesting things with a computer.
