Hi Gary and ALL... Yes, last Saturday night the weather is quite good although there are some fast moving clouds..... We did a star test to the Celestron edge 8, and is the scope is well collimated....... But unfortunately, even with its XLT coating, it is not able to pick up star E in the M42 Orion...
