Hey Tony!
"Just" for visual!!!
But I spend hours at the EP when weather allows - I've not used any other scope that is as good on the moon. Seeing permitting, it'll take a 3.2 EP and a 2x barlow with no image breakdown!!! Fantastic views along the terminator.
Its no slouch on DSOs or Planets either, but a short FL EP, rather than a barlow is reccomended - again it seems to punch above its weight. Stick a 13mm Nagler or a 19mm Panotic in and they'll be prying you out of your chair when the sun comes up!
The mounts pretty awesome too.
I plan to write a 'double review' soon, but would like a few more clear nights to do some doubles and fainter nebulae.
Thanks for drooling!
