i am keen to see how well the c14 has performed over damian peach's c9.25 from last year and chris go's c11 from this year.

where will it all end with imaging planets ie the next 10 years.

basically jupiter is nearly 400px high at the moment with my toucam and 1250 fl dob, so a 800 x 600 camera or bigger dwn the track

this c14 has a 3910mm focal length, throw a 5x powermate and an extension tube to get to 7.7x and it is getting silly.

but then again, who thought earth bound telescopes could do jupiter at 10,000mm a few years ago???

anyway lotsa good options, thanks guys
