I especially liked it on the moon. Lots of contrast. Easy to set up for a quick 10 minute peak. I have it set up that when I view things at Zenith, I can lay down on my grass and look through the EP in a nice relaxed manner. It is very enjoyable. -------------------- James (Thanks to Attilla for the Clear Sky charts) Current Projects : Tasco 15TEA - 3 inch pier mounted planetary scope Priorities : Wife, Kids Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on What do you use your classic scope for? aa5te 07/02/09 12:12 PM Re: What do you use your classic scope for?
