Thanks guys for all your tips!  |
Well done Bob, it was once considered quite an achievement and still is in my opinion.
1: "a bit further from Sirius A than I was expecting"- is exactly what I thought also ; so we two concur here
.
2: You used a warm up PRACTICE STAR -WELL DONE BOB- IT ALL PAID OFF!
3: That Edge of yours with it's light grasp, would have kept the Pup nicely in focus, and see-able even towards the field stop-A great scope and EP, by all accounts for this- Congratulations on an achievement also.
