Thanks Wal. Well, I only really have one scope for viewing (pending a mount for 130mm refractor), so that is definitely the most useful (4.5" f8 reflector)! I've watched Vesta & Ceres moving from night to night several times in the past, always interesting! Those two are bright enough that any scope (or binocs) will pick them up. I didn't realise Ceres was there till I picked it up while blinking images from several nights. Love things that move, but unfortunately my planetarium program has lost its asteroids and loading them again has me completely beat!!
