It gives me 223x magnification and has yet to let me down on the moon. Unless of course a gale force wind is blowing.
Dynamic criticisms? Eye relief is a bit on the short side. Some kids don't like that I'm told. But, easy for a teenager/adult without glasses.

I'm very keen on this one but I'm concerned the 6.7mm is possibly too much with my seeing conditions in the yard. I'm leaning toward the 8.8mm now and possibly getting a barlow for when conditions are great or when I'm able to get to a dark site. Thanks very much.
