We are going out later.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> I did try my new Swaro 8x30 SLC and CA was well controlled in this, even in these conditions. I was able to see some on the shed roof with sun to the left. Other than that I am very happy so far. BTW the focuser is a dream even using my ring finger. Just so I am not off topic I took out my Nikon 12x50SE to check it out under these conditions and at 12x the 12SE could use ED glass. I saw more CA but it wasn't really bad with all this snow. I could do one thing I couldn't with the 8 and that is read the neighbors truck license plate with ease.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> I thought I was going to get blown off my back porch though.Regards,Steve</blockquote>
