Some quick comments on observations too :-)
John's FC76DS is a great wide field grab and go scope.......amazing how well these perform considering everyone seems to think that 100mm is the only acceptable minimum.
The FC100DL throws up some pristine views....this scope truly punches above its size......if I did not see it fist hand with detail on Mars in low to the horizon in less than ideal conditions I would never have believed it !!! go out and get one now !!
M250 is the perfect portable Mewlon......views were outstanding especially on the limb of the Moon providing such clarity and detail in less than ideal conditions.
TOA130 with bino's give a definite almost 3d depth wow factor :-) !!
The Mewlon 300 showed its usual pinpoint stars :-) Jupiter exhibited multiple clear brown banding and detail to be seen in the bands with moons all lined up nicely :-)
Matts Blunderbuss is lovely to use and brilliant on deep space ! :-)
I now have an appreciation for how well constructed the DM6 mount's are.....much better to see in real life than perusing specs.
One lesson learnt.....turn up early and setup and align as best as possible BEFORE dark ..... and never get impatient and try to drive a Mewlon 300 on a EM400 mount manually around the sky !! LoL
