It should go well Rod and interested to test it out with you. I am yet to try a Delite !! I have tried just about everything else made in the last 50 years.

It will obviously see more use in the refractors than the Newtonians due to seeing limitations. In the 10" Skywatcher it gives just under 400X which is about the same as what my 3.5mm Pentax XW gives my in my 10:/F5.3 SDM. I certainly can't use it all the time, but on good seeing nights it gets plenty of use on the moon.
