and a young lady looking through a 4" refractor in white light. The Coronados have really become popular in recent years several members have acquired them. The 90mm is the largest in our society.

Agreed, the dual stacked are really nice set ups.

I also really like Mike's 60mm but didn't post it this time around. But I have him at his display. He did a really nice job with that.
