not a refractor, but

I observed Saturn last night with a 12.5 RCOS on a Paramount and Panoptics. (none of it mine unfortunately)
It stayed stable at +200X and Titan left a lovely clear shadow below the rings. 4 moons visible. crystal edges and great contrast.

oh well, its back to the city and affordable scopes for me.

sweet night.
