Thanks guys, Bert, yes i will give it an astro run at some stage, and see the comparison, but if this lousy weather dosn't change soon, who knows, may get into collecting stamps.

The filter is a 52 mm drop in Bert, and I appreciate your offer, will keep that in mind.

Dave, it is going to be a bit of both, and I do want to try it on some nature stuff, Alice and I plan to get creative and try and capture some different stuff. I have also built a nice Gimble mount for it, see belowand am just waiting for a couple of items from Kirks in the states.

Terry, Roger Clark is right this is some awesome piece of work and super fast focusing, I hope to take it out in the field shortly.
