First and last so far. I recon if you want to get into astronomy and say its too expensive this scope blows that argument away.
70 x 600 Skywatcher on Alt/Az. mount 300d EOS Canon steady hands remote shutter a foto for under $2000. I will add a blow up of Jupiter taken from this photograph showing the belts.. how good is that for $200. yes I am happy with the scope.. and so portable. alex

Sorry folks that is a f/l of 600 not 800 and the under $2000 is correct I included the camera cost...alex

Did a quick & dirty curves & levels adjustment of you moon shot after Ving contrast comment. Hope you don't mind!!
It's a bit overdone but you get the idea of what's possible...
Cheers
