That applies to me too. If I'd spent a mere 45 seconds I should have deciphered what his equipment is. A 25" f/4.4 Newt. I almost want to say that that much aperture is almost unfair! Notice I said almost. Jealousy is an ugly emotion!

Cheers,

Absolutely brilliant! I have been known to use 9m focal length with my DSLR but only half that with my webcam. I don't have a driven mount.

it's amazing, i can get to that focal length with barlows but not yield that type of detail, most likely because of aperture and sky conditions, it realy shows that aperture is key to resolution ''Diffraction Limit'' Rayleigh criterion
