12" First Dark
Fantastic!!! Unbelievable! And every other superlative you can think of. My new Meade Lightbridge 12" is all that and so much more. Thanks go to Chris at Star Optics for doing a great job. I was going to buy the 10" until a chat with Chris. Am now so glad I listened to his words of wisdom. Have just come in from first dark. Why is it called first light when you go out when it is first going dark? I am probably just really stupid but I have missed this somehow.Anyhow, Orion was incredible, and this was the first time I ever seen the Greenish hue to it. The QX26mm is a fine eyepiece, nothing too special but I am extremely happy with it. All up, I give the LB a 9 out of 10. Oh yes, and it transports easily in my Echo!!!!Well, I think I might go out again. Great night, great scope, great times. This is living!
