P1020585
150mm f8 GSO mirror. Quite good images of the planets and moon with v. faint diffraction spikes vis. on stars & planets brighter than about 1st magnitude. Good views of Saturns rings but little detail in atmosphere apart from orangish equatorial belt and dusky polar region. Good detail and contrast on moon with University optics 6mm orthoscopic at 200X. Have seen 12.7 magnitude stars and glimpsed 13+ mag under city (Adelaide) skies. Good on double stars too. Star images are close to refractor-like with this scope.
