My visual Paracorr arrived today.

I have just squeezed in 20 minutes under the stars before dinner, and getting kids to bed.

Initial impression? UNBELIEVABLE! It has totally sharpened up the view through my 22 Panoptic, which was suffering from quite significant coma. Although the seeing is only average and the mirror is yet to cool, the views of Trumpler 14 and 16 , in the Eta Carinae complex, are the best I have seen through that eyepiece. Omega Cent has many more stars which were beyond visibility without the Paracorr. NGC 3532 is full of sharp bright stars across the entire FOV.

I suspect the Paracorr will never leave the Moonlite focuser again. I am an instant convert. I am so pleased to have bought this item. Quite simply, it is superb with my f/5 mirror.

You gotta get one!
