Bushnell Telescope 78-8846, 78-8831, 78-8840
I just got the 78-8840 telescope yesterday and don't see anything about what kind of weather to use it in. I live in Calgary, AB, Canada where it gets quite cold. Does this telescope have to be babied and and only used in the warmer weather? Thank you Dennis
