I noticed you're from Virginia. Are you a member of ASSA yet?
There's a members viewing night at Stockport tonight and conditions are expected to be really good, so there should be a few there.
It'll be a great chance to see for yourself, as there'll be big dobs and refractors there I'm sure, with lots of different eyepieces. I'm taking my (was MattT's

) ED100 up there.
Cheers
Bob
