Hey PGC, pretty impressive seeing those details in 7009 at 566x.
I only went to 250X and didn't see much apart from the main, somewhat oval shape, but I am using 20 year old Celestron Orthos. I wouldn't like to push them to over 500x.

I notice from the excellent sketches, that you are using Vixen LVW's. How do you rate them? Another observer nearby uses the Hyperions and rates their 68 degree field to be more natural than the rather distracting 82 degree Naglers, impressive though they are. Naturally I haven't had the chance to do a comparison. Cheers, Paul.
