Default Eclipse Mak 6 Telescope

Just picked up a used Mak 6 Telescope,put new rings and dovetail on it but haven't had a chance to look at anything other than to see how it focused on a high rize some ways away,rain rain rain.It seemed to work OK but was wondering if anyone has one or looked at the Moon or Saturn through one and what I might expect.Been using a Celestron C-5 and just love it till this one came up at a price I liked so got it..

Yet to run into one of these, the specs not too bad but the 1/5 Wave is abit close, unless this is the total correction with combined optics which I raher doubt, see at 1/5 wave on each surface the correction will fall below the needed 1/4 wave for a decent image, price looks good, hopefully you can get another reply from the recent find....
