Sensational images with great contrast..both the best I have ever seen them in average seeing. Wide easy splits with a 3.2mm TS Dual ED .Can't wait to try this scope on all comers...esp the Transits.

Will try my best to do a full report..thats if the clouds go...and the elevation is high enough at the time.
