A fine finder

[John]

I've managed to get a few minutes with Jupiter this evening despite it's very low altitiude. I'm using my Orion ED80 which I use with either a standard red dot finder or a rather nice Orion (USA) 6x30 right angle correct image finder which I bought from Russ a little while ago. I was using the latter tonight and I've been very impressed with the optical quality of it - I could clearly see that Jupiter was a disk rather than a star and the 4 main moons were crisply defined either side of the planet (3 on one side and 1 on the other actually). The moon shows loads of detail and virtually no false colour either. I can really recommend this finder. Because it's a right angle one it saves you backache as well which is a bonus
