Thanks Darrin!
Yes,the optics is just so fine on the Vixen ED 103 refractor,It was expensive-the tube cost a fair bit-but it was worth every cent.Mate-do not worry about what a good tube cost,once you have it and use you forget about what it cost to buy.
As the enjoyment you get from great optics is a real pleasure,and you can go about planning photographs and know the optics will not let you down.I am so pleased you enjoyed the photo of the moon (and the plane too).
Hope you do really well in the future with your imaging and viewing
