We just had to look at the moon, the rilles and floor details in copernicus were stunning, no shadows are needed to see features with this scope but to be honest we didnt spend long looking at the moon. You literally could not see your hand in front of you for 5 mins with the eye used for looking at the moon. :shock:

It was a fortunate accident, I pointed the scope using the telrad, turned around and there it was on the wall. :lol: :lol: This was with a 31mm t5 nagler. We laughed when we both saw it.Well done guys, well thought out picture, one for a magazine...
