That's an amazing image of Venus!
I think I need a bigger telescope, 8" scopes don't give me anything like that.
What is the 5 times Barlow used?
I did buy a cheap Chinese thing some years back and it was absolute rubbish (I should have expected that for the price in all fairness), now I own a Powermate 5 times which is much better but I haven't done any planetary viewing as of yet with it, one day.
