Let me know what you think and thoughts on what I can do better. http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/...s/Image8.jpg http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/...s/Image6.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/21/2010 06:54 am I have a 44302 and your photo is real good for that scope.It looks a little out of focus though and the reverse shot is a little dark.How did you light the coin?Can I be nosey and ask what you paid for your scope?

slaufman New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 10/21/2010 09:10 am Thank you for the responses. I used a table lamp and the lights from the celestron. I had issues with reflections that I fought with a bit. I agree, the reverse is a little out of focus. I'll try it again. I paid $42.59 from an online retailer. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/21/2010 10:26 am That's a great price,I paid just under $60 including S/H on E-Bay.I had a lot of trouble with the on-board LED's so I blocked out all but one and covered that one with a white filter I made,it helped a lot. John1 P.S. If you type in 44302 in the search box upper left of page you will get some info on (yours and mine) scope. Edited by John1 10/21/2010 10:33 am Report this Post to the Staff
