The image was bright. Too bright. It's not usual to look at a full moon for that very reason, but we should get a happy compromise at some point as it wanes. But we could see the "seas", the craters, and the rays coming out of the craters. The fringing around the moon was pretty bad. But then it was only £26 and it wasn't actually designed as an astronomical telescope. So that may be a slightly unfair criticism.I also went back today and picked up one of the 12.5kg sacks of "wild bird seed".</blockquote>
