So far it is looking pretty good. A couple of observations...
I looked through it at the same 8 spots every hour from 4:00pm-9:00pm last night. From 4-6 CA could be seen on the same one branch. 7:00, no CA anywhere and at 8:00 only a very slight CA on a different branch at the same approx distance, but in the direction of the setting sun. By 9:00 the sun was mostly down and no CA at all. With the sun down the colors improved quite a bit. I wonder if I am getting too much light at the other times. I will be trying more night hours in the next two days, will post results sometime this weekend.
I am heading out the range Friday AM with resolution and color charts to review at 100 yards. I assume 100 is OK at 24X? (is that the right test distance? I have not done this before, but this is quite a bit of fun...)
