Really sharp images of the moon and Jupiter, using a Televue 10mm Radian eyepiece. However, I didn't think it performed as well with Ethos eyepieces on bright objects, too bright. Hmm, see a couple of Delos may be on the horizon.

A new mount is also now a high priority, as the alt az mount I used is just terrible. Worst mount I have ever bought. Just have to wait another 12 weeks before I can buy a mount.

Can't tell from your signature what the terrible alt-az mount is. I use a Skytee 2 on LXD75 tripod with my Stellarvue 110ED and it's smooth as.
