unimogbert Old Hand Registered: 08/10/06 Posts: 882 Loc: Colorado	I tried it last summer with a small hand lens. Fail. Even at 9,000' on a sunny day it failed. Atmosphere wasn't very clear due to forest fire smoke and I had difficulty holding it steady enough long enough. More practice would be helpful I'm sure but it just doesn't seem worth the effort.
