Re: A Lunar Session with the 5 inch Unitron
Nice to to see another lunar report and what a scope to do it with! 
That thing needs a permanent observatory though.... 
Hope you get to use this a lot more for planetary observations as they come in to view again later - i'm sure it provides excellent views when the seeing allows.
