Mike,
I did a bit more reading last night, found an article on polarising shades, and this wee beastie does not have polarising shades as described in the article.
A bit gloomy here today so I may have to wait to try it out.
My house is aligned North/South and the verandas/patios on either side act like wing bridges allowing me to take mid morning, noon and mid afternoon sunshots using an AH at the appropriate time of year. I even get the sun and moon rise over the bay to the east. Very convenient.
It all keeps me amused, off the streets and out of trouble.
Frank A.
