Excerpt from George East's review of the Tele Vue 5x Powermate in Sky & Telescope.

As the stars were shifted back and forth across the field, their appearance did not change. The images remained sharp right to the edge of the view. Next, I placed the limb of the almost-full Moon near the edge of the field. Although this is a severe test for lateral color, the limb appeared sharp and free of color. I tried several eyepieces; all did well
