Okay cool, I'm glad to hear that.
Yeah I know that single frames aren't the way to go for planets etc - totally understand that's a different process and best results come from webcams held to eyepieces - but I was more interested in whether I'd found the limit of what this mirror can do, or if they all butt up against the issue of atmosphere. Sounds like the latter, in which case it might be worth holding on to the Dob for now and perhaps getting dovetail & rings for mounting it.
Or I could just get a secondhand OTA with rings & dovetail already attached for around what the rings & dovetail would cost new from Bintel anyway. There's a 6" f/5 OTA on the classifieds right now for $200. Probably a better idea for a variety of reasons.
