Well, after looking through quite a number of scopes, I realized that no single scope can do everything for all purposes, BUT A C8 COME VERY CLOSE

, this will be a keeper.

I'm getting a 30mm WSIII and 0.63 reducer, this will yield almost 2* tfov with minimum vignetting.

Hi,
Due to raining in the late afternoon, the usual observation site is very wet. So to prevent dew problem, I will be observing on the Mult-Storey Car Park (BLK 842, TAMPINES AVE 4) instead, if the sky clear up later on.

Hope the sky clear up soon.

Have a nice day.
