ahhh Eric you will just keep me wondering what a full sized aperture would look like compared to a 1/4 one
(as I
did have enough film for a full one...)
There was definately a lot of light coming through. Even with the ~3" aperture I felt slightly uncomfortable and used a moon filter (point and shoot took in a looooot of light too). Trouble was things didn't focus quite well at mid to high power. Would it be due to turbulance (or other atmospheric reasons)
or the aperture too small (calling for an full 8" filter for better magnificaitons?) and things looking fuzzy and dim when when viewing in high power?
no proper AP involved.
