Few of us will be heading to Mersing this Sat night (19th Aug) for an overnight ob.

Whoever keen are welcome to join us but you need to find your own means of transport there.....

You may have a chance to see through two 12.5" side by side.... :wink:

Weixing, you are spot on, as usual! :)

I will also be testing out two binoviewers (Denk Std & WO) on the m210, with some pairs of EPs. Does anyone have a good pair of EPs to test out?
