    hahaha dan... my bad, typo... it was Yellow cast, not cat:) Cool thx Jaco - 1600USD, is not too bad, does not look like it got the iris on though, so might need to buy that on the side. Probably a perfect combi with the new Olympus body

    Nice stuff coming everyone... DanC #460 both are really nice - do I see alittle yellowcat on the second picture? I have been looking at the Black Borg 77 ED II with the 20 blade iris - I have not been able to find a price on it though, seems that it will be the perfect birding scope:) Wonder...

    Good results Hyrax.....In the pictures displayed I do not see any real focus issues. You might consider getting a dandelion chip to assist focussing.
