Thanks for the heads up. I’m away at a hotel near Dartford tonight (livin’ the dream! 🤣) Having seen your heads up, I popped out to the hotel car park and setup the little Tak in a dark corner with a view of the Moon, Mars and Jupiter. No finder, so just popped the 24mm in which giving 2.71 degrees to find Jupiter fairly easy, then in with the nag zoom giving x100 to x200 and once focused the shadow was very clear and well defined. Nice to see, thanks again 👍

There was a point when I thought I might have too, as my proper car does have a problem with it. But even I’m not that daft….am I? 🤪
