Big thanks to this scope's owner for sharing the views through it with the public! Bishan Park sidewalk is becoming an exciting and happening astro ob spot - you never know what telescopes are going to make unannounced special appearances!

Nice! Who's scope is that and more importantly, how were the views through it, especially with DSOs wheres its aperture really shines?

Thanks to Dave for organising the sidewalk. Sky got clearer and clearer as the night progresses! Had a great time mingling with old and new friends.
Here's a Moon pic with my phone cam thru Dave's C6 XLT. Cropped and added twilight filter in phone camera app only.

Had a good time playing with the 130P truss dob too. Here's the brief report: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11589&p=80205#p80205
