Yep.
3x seems the sweet spot, and it will get better as the disc increases in angular size as we approach opposition
I'm dying to crack out the 4x Powermate but the altitude and seeing aren't quite there yet.
That's where the 3x proves its worth. A little less image scale, a little less impacted by the seeing.
But the 4x is going to be a blast when the planet's almost directly overhead and (hopefully) the seeing is good.
