Just got my XW40

Cloudy nights for a while I guess.

This will give a magnification of about 70x with a FOV of 1 whole degree. Looking forward to giving it a run on the Moon at the weekend. At the lunar eclipse I only had the 30 which gave enough magnification that the Moon just about filled the view completely. A number of people at the public viewing reckoned they couldn't see anything because all they could see was "Moon" with very little around it. In the end I had to jog the Moon over to the edge so they could see some sort of difference.
