Dear mr. Kloss,

Last night we had clear skies so I did my "first light" testing with the ED120.
Moon was 22 degr. above horizon, not so much. But sufficient to inspect for false color on the moonlimb. And I was really surprised to see absolutely not any violet at all around the moon! Really amazing color correction for a doublet!!!
Apart from that a sharp moonlimb with plateaus and some mountain silhouettes. Something I never saw in achromats; only in APOs.

Although seeing was bad at this azimuth, I was able to quickly distinguish at least one crater in the middle of Plato. Did not spend to much time on that because of the seeing. I have big expectations of Plato with this scope as soon as seeing is better.
Saturn was only at 19 degrees, so not a fine object to go for high magnifications. Nevertheless good pictures at 200x in my binoviewer.
Finally one of my popular doubles: Epsilon Bootes high in the sky; a 10cm++ object. Separation was no issue at all. Compared to achromats the color difference between the two was impressing. And the airy disks very very clean and solid.

So my first conclusion is that you delivered an 120ED that really conforms to the positive stories on forums about this telescope.
Thanks a lot for that.
I intend this scope to be my main observing instrument for many years to come.

Thank you very much for your service,
Jan H.
