Great bubble Micke, one to be proud of. The chamber looks clean enough to see the Sun and the brighter stars and planets. You won't know if you'll see the smaller ones untill you try it. I don't recall seeing Polaris for years, although I could just about see it with good imagination using my issue MkIXBM in 1967/8. DaveP
