Vixen 114mm ED

Just got a Vixen 114mm ED f/5.3 OTA and Orion skyview delux 2 EQ mount! Boy the Vixen is much bigger than i thought it would be, and it's pretty heavy. It's a little to big for the Orion mount! I would suggest a GM-8 or maybe a Vixen DX mount, to hold the 114mm Vixen.

I just looked at some trees of in the distance, color correction seems to be much better that i thought it would, i can't notice any color with powers over 120x.

The real test will come tonite, if it's not cloudy.

Gee Charles, is this your first scope??

What number is this one, 349??

I am surprised you haven't had one of these before.
