He was here in Southern Calif on the Memorial Day weekend and we managed to
get in a little observing. His scope's view of M-51 was awesome, best I've
ever seen. The structure & detail visible seemed to bring it up close
& personal. He claimed he could see color in the Lagoon, but my 60 year
old eyeballs couldn't manage that. Evenso, I can testify that his optics
are excellent!
