Ok , Roger these two are raw shots straight out of my Sony A200 into my computer and posted here .
Both with my Istar 127mm f8 doublet refractor and one taken with the same gear with my Tak M210 .
#1 is native at 1000mm .
#2 is using my TV 2x Powermate at 2000mm .
#3 is using my Tak Mewlon 210 at 2410mm.
Hope this gives you an idea of image scale .
And your friend is right , 2000mm using 2.5 inch focuser and 2 inch Powermate are a perfect frame of the moon in my set up , as seen here and 2410 from the M210 is a little much .
Brian.
