- Store the scope dust protected in a location closer to ambient temperatur to get quicker cool down
Long term I will try to direct compare to a 120 ED, one member has offered via PM.
Depending on what this comparison shows I will either be happy with my Mak or hunt for a 120mm ED or try to have a look through a premium 120 APO.

Probably a good decision to take your time. Please share your thoughts when you compare the two scopes.
