1500x+

Hi Everyone,
Just got home from an observing night with my fellow members of M.A.S. "Omaroo + Astreisk"
It started to cloud over heavily, but before then Chris said "Here try my 5mm E/P with my 5X power mate. Now this was mated to my 12"Lb.
I didn't expect to see anything except a blob of light.
Instead I was greeted by a magnificent steady sight of the moon.
I felt like I was descending to the surface on one of the Apollo Missions.
I never thought I would be able to stretch the scope to its theoretical 600x, let alone 1500x+

Thanks Chris.
