Here are some examples of what I did on my alz-az mount with my 8SE.

I doubt I'll be doing any more on this setup though, as I've now got my AZ-EQ6 mount up and running! |
Thanks Barry, those pictures are great! With your Saturn/Mars pictures I see you used a 2.5 Powermate, how is that enough magnification to get Saturn at such a good resolution? Or does the Neximage that you used have some kind of magnification associated with it?
