OXO Posted May 18, 2006 Author Share Posted May 18, 2006 Quick Report,Had the scope out a couple of times now and i must say for an archo it's pretty good on the olde CA front.Jupiter did show some CA as you would expect but at higher Mags the Ca was almost gone, banged in a Moon Glow filter and that helped again around 60% to 90% :shock: had the scope going at 500x Mag which is great for a 5" scope M13 and M57 are simply stunning in the scope using a 40mm EP(Sirrus plossl) many resolved stars at the core of M13 and M57 showed it's central star in 6/10 seeing conditions :shock: this was a great suprise to me.The moon is also great being just over F9 the views are some of the best i have seen, good resolution and contrast.It's a Beast of a scope but thats not only in it's size but also what can be observed with it, a deff keeper!James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazOC Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Can you carry the 6" Gaz? It is a big scope, but nothing too bad. About the same weight as a 10" Newt but easier to setup on an EQ because of the size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
