  1. Fantastic Ha viewing again, trying some different things- once the 90mm is figured out it's on to the 120ED...

      Very, very well Shaun. The sky is allowing big mag. The low power view is jaw dropping though and I must get the reducer figured out with the ZZ- it doesn't need much... I'm maximizing the views with it for sure,.

  2. Filters and a great T2-M48 adapter arrived, pics soon
