Orion Delights and GSO Ronchi Test

Just finished up a look around Orion and LMC. Well worth a 3am wake up (and an observatory makes it easy). Sky was very stable here tonight. I had the 8" f5 GSO Newt on the CGX, and the plan was to just poke around visually, but also to finally get my new Ronchi EP on the Newt to check out the mirror. It did not disappoint, as expected based on its visual performance. Nice parallel lines in the Ronchi star test, dialed all the way down to four bar bands.
