Hey, Chris,

thanks for pointing out that important detail. I just switched between turn knobs and it sure makes sense. After putting the finishing touches to my Towa I was in a rush to catch the last stretch of sunshine for beauty shots. Still no first light, though.

First light tonight. Towa Tokyo 62/800mm delivering perfect star test on Rigel. Quick n'dirty moon shot with handheld iPhone 5 behind standard star diagonal and HM 15mm not bad. This one's a keeper!
