Nice pics, seeker. I haven't succeeded in getting any decent images with mine yet, although visually it delivers very good images.

I've had my PST for several months now. I find that I see more detail with it presently than when I first bought it. It varies a bit, though. Probably unsurprisingly it seems to deliver better images on cold days. I suspect that there is a compromise between having the sun at reasonable elevation and using it before the air warms up. I want to try observing with it over a body of water to see if that makes a difference. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Also, I can usually use up to a 10mm Pentax EP with it (40x). What magnifications do other users manage to extract detail with?

Cheers,

Brian.
