Hi,

I'm aware that people occasionally combine data from scopes of different focal lengths, but most of what I've seen is combining data from 2 different refractors.

Is it possible to combine data from a refractor and that from a newt - the newt obviously has the cross pattern on bright stars - is this an issue when stacking? I've read one post from a member of a UK forum who said that he had never been able to achieve satisfactory results with this combination.

Has anyone here been able to do it? Is it really that much of an issues?

cheers
Gary
