Hi Guys
Thanks everyone for pointing out that my new scope doesn't need collimating & my left eye is OK

I had a look on wednesday nite when jupiter was very high overhead & there was quite a difference, even with a 3/4 moon glaring nearby(should be good with no moon!) I could see several bands & a broken cloudy pattern,only the polarising filter improved this slightly

& yes Mark the 17mm was the best ep on the nite,also being a wide angle I could see all of the moons as well

I haven't found the report/review on planetary ep's on cloudy nites yet but I'm still looking

I'm really enjoying using this scope,the GPS & autostar finds the target accurately every time, I'm looking forward to observing under some dark country skies rather than light polluted sydney,where I'm sure I'll see a lot more of everything

Bryan
