Me & the little ones...

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo

Peter, even though there are many variables involved when pushing a scope, I'll say that I'm VERY happy with both of these scopes. (you get a lot for what you pay for them)
Here in South Florida we are blessed (most of the times) with good to excellent seeing, and I've been able to get at least the 50x per inch, and sometimes more, without a problem... (I use my UO Orthos a lot too)wink


Clear skies, my friend! 8)

Saw it a couple of times with my 10", from our dark location in The Everglades...
Not much to write home about it though..., just a faint dot... wink
