Hi Brian. Its really a nice cheap refractor. On a laptop screen it focuses well. Its perfect for low down lunar shots with little to no cooldown. Sky was still quite bright. Scope had been out about 10 mins. But it copes well.

That’s a good image Neil. Those small refractors certainly have a place with lunar photography.

For sure Trevor. They fill a certain type condition. Or conditions better than the bigger scopes. Especially a lack of cooldown. And or very quick grab and go setup

Very nice Neil, good to see  mare Humboldtianum tipped nicely into view. Still looked pretty good last night, despite the wind

Thanks Pete. As the phase gets larger want to try bigger off course. But this situation precluded that on this occasion.
