But on that Saturday the only thing we really compared was the moon and the refractor was none too shabby! What I'm more encouraged by is the fact that on the Friday night out at Samford the views of Jupiter then through the SDM were equisite. Such a shame I couldn't have had the refractor there for the direct comparison on that night.
