Absolutely majic!!!!!
Still with me after ten years.
Heard about the debris in a lot of zooms Ken..Using the Orion one ATM for testing the seeing , and it is a surprise ... sharp wiith great contrast.... but would say the Pentax.. has pleased everyone I've read that uses it, and by all accounts the best in its price range...even brunonno here on IIS loved his .
