My scope has been delivered by Peter to cloudy weather as per the norm.

The SDM scope has exceeded my expectations yet again. I have only had a chance to take it out twice and both nights were test nights for me to get use to the scope.
The views of Jupiter and Saturn really stood out for me, I haven't seen that level of detail visually and was able to push to x270 consistently. I pushed the scope to x700 and the view did not break down but I could see the atmosphere was in and out but at times sharp.

I have updated the thread in cloudynights:
