Just a tip on viewing the moon: The lid should have another 'little lid" on it of about 50mm. Use that aperture for the moon or otherwise you will having difficulty seeing afterwards due to the magnified brightness.
That little lid is also good with a solar filter for viewing the sun.
We were all disappointed as newbs that we couldn't magnify stars, but we get to magnify the light and size of amazing nebulosities, and the planets. A fair exchange I thought.
