[Lvas] Eyepiece Reticle

[David Blanchette]

I've used OPT (optcorp.com) and Astronomics (astronomics.com).  I'm 
not a big fan of Ebay.

I use a battery powered reticle eyepiece.  I've got enough cords 
lying around, I don't need another.  There is the problem of leaving 
it on (I've done it once, should be sufficient) and killing the 
batteries.  Since I mainly use it for drift alignment, the batteries 
last quite awhile.  If and when I start using it for guiding, that 
may change.  I've already thought about ways to use a power cord in 
place of the batteries.
