Sounds like a very nice evening, John. I'm not at all surprised that the pronto showed the GRS, I remember how richly an ED80 showed this feature. 

 

 

Thanks Chris. This ones a Ranger but I believe it has the same optics as the Pronto

Yeah pretty much the same thing, John  Nice classic looking scope.

I must say that I am enjoying hearing about this little 70mm and what it can do.. Keep letting us know what your seeing with it..

Lots of mentions about 70mm scopes in the last couple of days. Could be this yrs "must have".

Whose going to be first to spot it in one of the Skywatcher 50EDs? Could be fun.

I'll have a go if I can. Getting the magnification might be tricky.

Great report John. Enjoyed the read.

Yes, probably need a 3mm or shorter focal length eyepiece, probably need around x100 which might be doable?
