But one with a large field of view.
And Orion fodder scope will work fine.
A decent pair of binoculars would do just fine….you wouldn’t need anything very powerful for a launch….especially if you are going to be close enough to the launch site.
10×50 binoculars would do just perfect.
You can thank Albert Einstein we now have the mathematical equation for a black hole, which is:
g?? + ^g?? = 8?g/c^aT?
Thanks Albert Einstein!
Well, …, IMHO, a pair of Bushnell 12X50 Powerview binoculars ($49.95 at Wal*Mart) will do just find. As other have said, you need something with a wide field of view those binoculars have got great eye relief and yield great views over a wide range of observing situations.
