It was beautiful, perfectly clear crescent. I am not nearly as serious about astronomy as you are, but since I already had the spotting scope for high power competition, I figured I would give it a try. I have seen Saturn's rings and the bands of Jupiter with all four of the largest moons. The angled eyepiece was a pain in the neck until I got an inexpensive Celestron red dot finder, just for astronomical use.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
