Thanks Guy's, this scope is just something extra. I wish it had a bit more focal length but then again the wide field is also very nice.

nice one Doug nice stars are they like the ones you seen when you smacked your head under the door LMFAO

Nice Doug. Stars are well resolved and colouring is ok but maybe just a tad of pink in the orange stars. The field of view is great. Would love to see a larger version.

Thanks Paul. Colour balance is my biggest bug bear. Getting star colour just right seems to elude me at the moment but I haven't had much practice of late. Maybe I will fluke it in the future.
I will see what I can do about a bigger version.
