This was a struggle with my 8 inch under pretty poor seeing, actually I was surprised I got as much detail as I did. 8 inch f5 Newtonian using a 5x Powermate and ASI120MMs on a Eq5 mount. Best 10% of about 8000 frames of each colour at around 60fps.

Added a shot from the same night using my Canon 550d. Same scope and 5X Powermate, 10% of 18000 frames at 50fps, 200 iso. Actually turned out better than the ASI120MM, which was unusual.

Thanks Russell, the detail I got from the average to say the least, video capture surprised me.

Thanks Pete, an eight inch is a good all rounder. Reasonable aperture and focal length for planetary and deep sky.

Thanks Peter, I wonder how it would have turned out like using a 3X Barlow?
