Yes Tony, crummy series 500 4mm in a Shorty Plus. Now, as you might imagine, the 300x image is not exactly sharp and crisp. It's a uniform yellow disc with a blurred outline. But it was a steady blurred disc. We tried a Radian 3mm in this scope at Star Camp during the day and the images were still sharp, so it can go over 200x no probs, but 300x is probably just a tad too ambitious.
