Hi,
I finally had a chance to do some short but satifying observations albeit under unfavorable conditions.
The condition being that observation was taking place on a shakey deck!!!
Saturn: Low and close to rooftops and shakey deck !!!!Still got a sharp view WITH Cassini (at the edges)
Jupiter: Two main belts with much detail seen in the belts and darkening at the poles(180x) No color!!
Stars: Nice airy disc and diffraction ring(if I remained toally still and allowed for the shaking to subside and at 180x that alot to ask).
Focuser=Butter both coarse and fine focusing knobs.
All in all a beauty of a scope and a joy to look through.
I hope to deliver a more detailed report after a more thorough night of observing.
