I can vouch for it. I've never used the Lodestar

Hi Dan,

I got the lens kit for it as well. I was getting variable results with it that seemed to change with the angle of the scope. Everything was tight so I don't know where the flex was coming from. I should try it again and double check everything is tight. For now I decided it was not working well enough.

That was imaging at 600mm. I even tried it at 2 metres and it wasn't too bad surprisingly. So it has potential.

Greg.
