<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 723940, member: 4552"]Yeah but I'll bet you had to pay sales taxes so the 99 cent is probably over a dollar.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>I too use several really cheap magnifying glasses purchased at flea markets. Also, there is a scientific supply place near me where there is an entire row of magnificartion objects. One really nice one was a large, about 5" diameter one on a stand, with a smaller built in about 1" diameter one. I think the larger part is about 3X and the smaller one about 6X or something like that. I have a large assortment on a table and change back and forth, pending on what I'm looking at. I'm not sure about total cost but I suspect for about possilby 10 of these I didn't spend more than $40. Of course none are famous brands and possibly not worthy of use on the Hubble telescope. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
