It was amazing. And then, with a very large amount of luck, I managed to find the Orion Nebula (at least I'm 90% certain it was it - I was pointed towards Orion).
It was worth getting eating alive by mosquitoes. By the way, if anyone knows of any great solutions to combat mozzies besides from citronella candles, please do share!

Good one!
I saw it too, but only 2 stripes(what is this idea of removing the 2 inch adaptor) how do you do that? I have left mine in.....?won't the 1.25 Eye pieces fall through? Or be loose.
As for mozzies Suzy on this forum sugests a fan to blow them away.
