47 Tuc

I haven't been observing long but found 47 tuc tonight - it gave me a brief adrenalin rush. I have seen it before - through a 25" SDM - which was fantastic, ( and totally spoilt me ) but to find it on my own little scope was terrific. I also saw a few meteorites coming from s/se, whcih looked great when seen through the scope.

dont go near 25" beasts, you'll get a very easily caught desease....
aperture fever, and yes it can hurt you lol

Actually 47 Tuc is my favorite glob, impressive in any scope but
mesmorising (<-typo) in a 25"

regards,CS and happy hunting

I saw M13 through a 25" one time. I've felt inadequate ever since.

Evil, evil scopes.

Looks amazing through my 10" at high power. I can't possibly imagine what a 25" would do!
