You got it 12" at F3.8 helps too of course

You will recall me always complaining about the rubbish seeing when I was imaging with the AG12 from Newcastle hence why I never imaged a galaxy from there Then the bloody wind from here at Wallaroo ... I (and I imagine some on lookers), thought at times that maybe I had purchased a bit of a lemon ..well while I was always pretty confident of the causes and always put it down to the bad seeing and then the wind, I too was starting to doubt it at times....well, not any more!! as they say, location, location, location he he he. This scope really is the imagers holy grail, with a big chip it can deliver wide expansive views AND then with small pixels it can also hammer resolution in close ups...perhaps I am finally truly happy
