It is an 18% secondary obstruction James, so contrast should be very nice. It does look tiny!

18% is in Russian Mak-Newtonian territory but without the weight and cool down times. Should be a superb lunar / planetary scope and not shabby at anything else either

This is the 8" John, was that what you meant?

That's promising John!

This review, which I'm sure you've seen, was one reason I've always wanted to try one.

EDIT Gavin asked me what the difference would be vs the Mewlon, and after failing to answer the question initially, I twigged that with 18% vs 33% CO it should have an advantage. It will be interesting to see if it is visible.
