This is probably one of my best so far following some of Mikes great article on Planetary imaging and Processing (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/index.php?id=63,306,0,0,1,0).
Probably what I'm most interested in just now is how to get some more image scale? Extension tube? 5x Powermate?:whistle: :D
I'm using a Neximage cam with a cheapie 2x barlow on my 10" reflector.

cheers

If you can afford a 5x Powermate, that would be good.

And having formerly owned a NexImage, I'd say eventually get yourself a ToUcam:lol:

That's a great image Marko, very nice colour.
Buy a 4x or 5x Powermate and an extension tube for larger image scale.

:thumbsup:

Great stuff Mark, well done!

A 5x powermate is great. I used one on my 10" dob for years and now use it with my 12" newt. It will give you the extra image scale you need.

Also as Matt said, a ToUcam is a good upgrade from a NexImage, if you don't want to go into full RGB imaging with a monochrome camera.

You captured some beautiful colour.
Well done.
