Finally had a chance to give my tenderly Used AR152 it's "first Light" under clear skies over Long Island and the views are exceptional.
I'm using my 30mm TMB Paragon and TV 22 Panoptic scanning Ursa Major and pinpoint stars abound even looking NW toward NYC.
I'm hoping to get a glimpse of some galaxies with averted vision....hoping for the best. I tried it out with my AT 2" dielectric diagonal which
complements those fine ep's well. I screwed on a VR-1 Minus Violet Filter waiting for Jupiter to "come up" in the East later tonight.
So far using the VR-1 does reduce the violet on bright stars like it should and the pinpoints are fine with it. Almost time for Jupiter to
show it's face. Out I go again. I'll try my TMB/Burgess 8mm and 7mm Nagler and see if it holds up with the higher power.
Get one of these AR152's,,,,Can't beat it for the price with all of the accessories AND a great handle to carry it with. This is a Keeper.
Clear skies,
George S
