Thanks Fay. Yes, I took a couple of afocal shots through it a while back. One of the side fo a hill a few km's away (you could see the individual stalks of grass) and one of the moon rising.

Ron has had his own "first light" views two nights ago and is extremely happy with his new (old) scope.

Nice one Baz. It looks like a work of art.

A Merry Christmas to you and your family !
