Thanks, I was fairly impressed with it considering it cost me$150 used and that I was led to believe that this type of scope gave poor results on lunar and planetary objects. I was expecting a slightly fuzzy low contrast image. I might be misremembering but I think this is actually a composite of four images since I could not get the whole image on the sensor.

Thanks for looking,
Matthew
