Were these reflection halos only with the green and red subs? I am not criticising here, merely interested as I am evaluating the performance of this scope as a potential scope for my own use and reflection halos is one of those performance criterions.

What was the seeing like?

Greg.
Thanks Greg,


Frankly I have no idea bout the halos... I actually find them very nice and contributing to the overall image, that I didn't make any attempt to diminish them in any way. I think they came through in the red and green images only.


The seeing was 2"-2.5" that night, which is less than what we usually get at that site :-)


Cheers,
Harel
