If your baby can handle Jupiter filling the screen and no vibration is evident, then you will have an excellent imaging system. I have a feeling Ken is about to touch us planetary guys up in the next few weeks!!!.
Unfortunately we cant stop him as bad weather accompanies purchases, not hard physical work!

Davo,
1. 'Magnifications': Dunno yet. As soon as we were set up, the rain came down!
2. "I have a feeling Ken is about to touch us planetary guys up in the next few weeks!!!." Wrong! I think there are enough 'Jupiters' on this site for the next 20 years
I'm a hunting wabbits! Deep sky wabbits. That's my thing.

Yep Bert,
There is 75 pounds in just the counterweights!
Does that still sound tempting, Paul?
