Re: Cub Scouts Jan 24th 2012
Again, tremendous work you are doing with this noble group. You mentioned recently that you could not quite reach focus at prime with the baader wedge and ES127. How close were you? I gained about an inch and a half with my adapters from Alpine. I ask because I plan on buying one of these scopes soon...

Awesome as usual. Love the happy faces.
PS: I haven't seen clear blue skies like that since it was 2 degrees BELOW 0 here.
