LOL!, yes I certainly have but not used it in that config yet. I did view the moon though off a camera tripod and using a range of eyepieces it performed brilliantly

The combination of the 127 and the 490 affords amazing level of detail and resolution, great image Chris.

Thanks for the kind comments everyone, I'm looking forward to the return of dark skies instead of this half-light we get this time of year, I'm sure we all are. I think it's time to relax and just enjoy the sunny days for a while now (if we get any that is...)
