Quick update...
I did get a chance to get the scope out for a few minutes with the boys ...
We had a quick look at Jupitor and spent a lot of time on the moon...as usual, the boys had a blast and I enjoyed watching them look at the sky...
There was much more contrast for both objects so the shield and flocking are doing some good...
The Moonlite focuser is absolutely "buttery smooth"...
Only one thing is of concern...I think I need to get the longer focuser tube...I use a lot more out focus than in the old R&P focuser...probably due to the lower profile of the Moonlite...I need to pull the eyepieces out just a "smidge" (technical term) to get to focus...all eyepieces are effected (Bintel plossl and Nagler as well)...I take a look at it later in the week when I get back from Japan.
Clear Skies All!
