I did something I have never done this evening which is take a look at the moon while it is still daylight. I cant say why I have not done it before.....just never thought about it I guess. I bought an AR6 recently and of course the sky has been terrible for about 2 weeks now. Was out on the deck setting up as tonight is the 1st night it has been clear since I got the AR6 and it was there and I was there and I threw a 17mm Hyperion in and took a look.
What I saw took me off guard.....it was crystal clear, sharp and NO CA.....none, nada.....Now I know when it gets dark the AR6 *will* have a little color....but the daylight wiped it out. So I threw in a 5mm and was rewarded with yet again no CA.....the image was just a bit soft but still very nice.....I didnt expect this but I will take it
