Yes, I had a 10:1 fitted on my GSO 12" dob and it was very handy.

The focus lever on the refractor worked okay, but it was too easy to move the scope off target, especially at high magnifications when I had the tension knobs loosened. It was also hard to find in the dark - it could have been anywhere in a 12" diameter.

Tonight's looking good - looks clear from the CBD.
