yeah me too, but the foto was blury and to tell the truth i think it was just a guy in a hairy suit....

hey zeroid cheers for the info on the diagonal, its good to know. at the moment ive just got a celestron 32mm plossl, and a whats called a "super barlow x2" from a mob called seben in germany....seems realy solid and well made.

but i have just come from the world of H20, H12.5, SR4, so its already a huge improvement. i was thrilled with the fov on the 32, makes the huygens like looking through a black soda straw...

at about 1.3 km from my house i can read car licence plates with the lower power plossl + barlow comapared with H's that come nowhere close ....on the same road is one of those "40km/hr school zone 9am - 4pm" signs thats great for use as a focus chart and calibrating the spotter...

also does a realy good barlow (as apposed to a plastic tube you get with a department store scope) make a big difference? id be greatfull to know about say a top of the range price and make, and then a middle range but still decent..

yes its inevitable i will get aperture fever but my c90 has eased my panic of pooling enough cash together to get something big, im just so happy with it, cost me $160 from the U.S. and your dead right with what ever i spend on 1.25" eyepices can be put to use on the next toy.....
