Carrying around my 20" obsession is going to kill me,
but what a way to go.

the DMK camera is awesome, and I'm downloading avistack as I type,
I'll run the last images through it and see if its any different.
If I was going to the IAS/SDAS meetup, then I'd bring it along, imaging is nice, but seeing it is even better, if not completely blinding.

I have to say Tony, that the mirror in this scope never ceases to amaze me,
you've heard the stories of large aperture scopes not been worth it for detail cos they're
supposidly more affected by seeing, well I can tell you it aint quite true.
You can see craters very clearly across all the moon in this thing on a full moon, you dont need shadows, as it happens the club had an observing session last Friday and the clubs 10" SCT was there, there was no comparison in the views of the moon between the 2 scopes.
