Thanks

Hi Chippy, If I can get over to the Nth side I'll bring some binoviewers with me.You really need to check them at night at infinity on a star because getting focus on a tree during the day can trick you into thinking you have enough forward travel. You will enjoy bino viewing and the kids find it easier with 2 eyes also. My Denkmeiers will blow you away, they have a 3 way power switching system. 1st stage is "that's great" 2nd stage is "holy $@#@" 3rd stage "You have to be joking". Pic shows plenty of forward travel to go after focusing on Fomalhaut tonight. .
Great for viewing the moon at any stage as you don't need a moon filter, as the binos darken the incoming light by 10-20% so no welding flashes.
. edit, pic is with Williams Binoviewer on 8" Skywatcher Dob.
