Just my 0.02 Euro (after tax)

Yikes 10 micron!!!???? guess the 0.63 reducer has better torlance? (and therefore the 0.33 reducer somewhere in between??)

I need to get used to visuals on the new scope first and perhaps the 0.63 reducer later one. Fastar/Hyperstar is just a bit too steep on the old learning curve so far.
