Had a chance to look through one last year, amazing amount of detail on Jupiter and a transit of one of the moons as well, with a 2mm EP, fantastic scope.

Hi Mack. Wow, this is a really nice refractor ED telescope. And, I too like that storage/travel case too. Thanks for your new equipment report and photo Mack, and the best of wishes for better weather and skies soon.
