Pre moon test of Tele Vue 32mm plossl

[mister_wavey]

Finally a cloudless evening in Abergavenny to test the new eyepiece in the 16" and 10" dobs. Not yet dark, but not quite moonrise, and the dumbbell is hanging in space as proud as you like. Can make out detail in both lobes, with the southern one showing greatest brightness. Lovely!

And then the contrast fades as Madame Luna flashes her ankles once again...

I just got the 25mm version, and that is very nice too. Very crisp indeed. The 32 will be every bit as good, I do not doubt.
