There's a lot to be said for a bullet proof polar scope!

Agreed Greg - its a fussy thing. When its working, its great and when its not...it is so frustrating.

It drove me mad trying to work out what was responsible for the inconsistent results. Little did I realise that by examining the images in Maxim, I was actually changing the images and therefore clouding the issue.

I'm keen to get it just right and then to leave it alone.
