Guest Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Nice shot. I do a few lunar shots with just the camera when I feel too tired or lazy to lug my Mak out. This is better than mine, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Graham Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 For an old scope that is pretty impressive Phil. The details are fantastic, really crisp and sharp. Like that a lot. philjay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philjay Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Cheers guys. The optics on this scope can beat a heck of alot of modern scopes hands down. The Japanese Towa objective has superb figuring, polishing and coatings, couple that with f15 and the image quality surpasses alot of apo scopes on the market today. I dont use this scope often enough, should try harder :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brantuk Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Amazing the clarity that can be achieved with a half decent achro - nice one Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
