Tonight was almost as exciting as me finding the Sombreto Galaxy earlier this year(and wanting a hamburger because of it). I think I'm finally getting the work out of this scope I've been begging it to since I bought it last July. What a year it makes :P P.S. Jupiter was viewed but it's getting really low to make out major details compared to just when I really saw it good in June. Man I'm finally glad it's coming together. -------------------- Bert O'Dell PROUD GOTO USER LX200 10" Classic various meade plossi's eyepieces Konig MX70 40mm" eyepiece 11mm T6 7mm T1 Insane under a full moon I duck from Iron Skillets Charleston WV clearsky Post Extras:       novbabies Postmaster Reged: 06/05/05 Posts: 15678 Loc: Northern Georgia!
