But clouds came in I will have another peek in one hour but so far real good for city location.
Very happy so far.

These are a very impressive, compact scope indeed Alex.. let us know how your going with your polar aligning..thats a low ISO!
Plenty hear are using a guide camera and finder and free Sharpcap software to plate solve the Polar aligning part...but that requires extra time and computer setups.
There is a good article here on easy aligning.
