Dear Clockdrive, my apologies for kicking off the negative comments, but my opinion is unchanged. I have been in astronomy circles for nearly 50 years, these scopes were around when I was a lad and I have never been impressed with them. many a time I have been asked to around to a house to show how to operate one of these. I take a 60mm refractor on these occasions with me, and generally the owners are disappointed that my little 60mm (vixen achromat) has better views.
I'm happy that you are pleased with the views in your scope, and your enthusiasm for observing with a small instrument and pushing its limits is a joy I am well familiar with.
Keep up that enthusiasm, and thank you for your posts.

regards
John
