its hard to explian Rick, I tried to take a pic without success. I will try on a fainter star tomorra night. I've packed up because I already have a cold

even when I put the scope out (around 5pm) I noticed the spider vanes and secondary in view while looking in the eyepiece. noticable at a distance ... just a blur close up. I'm assuming that shouldn't happen? (or does it because the skies aren't dark enough to mask that apparition)?
let ya know how it goes, and thanks.
