title: The BITA telescope: a first impression.
abstract: The Bilevel Telemicroscope Apparatus (BITA) is a new galilean telescope designed to offer improved cosmesis, weight, field of view and spatial orientation over more traditional spectacle-mounted telescopic systems. This paper describes the characteristics of the new telescope and presents two cases where the BITA was successfully prescribed.
