the clouds finally cleared here & i was able to gaze thru one of the units i had ordered. Using the galilean configured eyepiece feels like you are looking into a inhole - and only just reaches focus with the focuser pushed almost all the way in in. Could make out jupiter and 2 moons, no contrast visible.
stuck in a 7.5mm ortho, yielding about 70x - terrific view - 3 moons nice & crisp & i could easily make out the two main darkish bands on the planet - the views were terrific for the mag & size of aperture. equaled my WO petzval 66 almost. I am very pleasantly surprised. The ortho is nice & light - fits tightly and focuses with the focuser about half way out. would not want a bigger ep in there i imagine
