Thanks David,

Yes, I have the Baader FringeKiller too. It does a great job on bright planets. I don't need to use it on any other objects though. Yes, you can see the Cassini Division on Saturn and the cloud bands and GRS on Jupiter on a still night through this scope.

Nebluae, Globulars, Glaxaies are all also lovely, sharp, and contrasty in this scope with the big aperture. Many forums say this scope punches well above its aperture. It compares favourably to 8" and 10" Newtonians when I did side by side comparisons.

Omega Centauri at 100x is particularly stunning - especially through a 12mm Nagler - go for a space walk in the stars! And you will feel like you are falling through space if you are lucky enough to borrow an Ethos - wow!
