An equatorially moutned 8"f/6

Highest power EP I had then, and still, is a 5mm Radian, so I'm fairly sure
it was 240x.

I've no idea...anyone else who can report on this?  Also anyone else who's
seen this?  I know there's plenty of you out there....

I do have to give credit to really steady skies.  (That or I'm seeing
things.)  Neither time did I hold the division constantly, but it kind of
came and went with the very subtle changes of seeing.
