My first light thoughts of the new scope, both good and bad, in (hopefully) an honest report.

Hey Damian, what a report, and what a difference that 38mm has made judging by some of the objects you can now see!

Congratualtions on your long awaited setup, it's very well thought out

Nice one Damian. It's about the scope and not the ego of the tester, which really does make a nice change!! 

While the TEC 140 is a premium refractor and, as such, an expensive scope, it is a 'budget premium apo' if that makes sense. It makes sense to me. It is so much cheaper than the premium 6 inchers. I love my TEC140 and would consider it my keeper since it can image and do visual.
