Which one has best detail, magnification, those sorts of things. I am sure it is the skyscanner, but I want to make sure, since the funscope's reviews are really good, while the skyscanner is about it being portable. What about viewing througth both?
Once again, the answer is the 100mm scope.
A larger mirror means 73% more light gathering, also more resolution. The longer focal length will make it easier to increase power for planets or the Moon.
It's well worth the extra money.
