Thanks John ..it was a great night when Mars was unbelievable in the 115mm ..so thought I'd try my now gone 72ed ..it was there lovely..80 ed easy enough..though it likes aperture for the colours to truly show ..so 4 inch scopes and above ..
Its a shame most don't even know it exists the separation , colour and brightness difference better to me as it rewards patience than other showpieces such as Izar, Alpha Herculis, Delta serpentis , 95 Herculis, Gamma Delphinus, Eta , Rho and Beta Orionis, Antares and Almaak etc
Looking forward to your attempts too.

With respect always.
Bigjoe
