Hi Bert, I thought I would just point out that the collective group of people you are insulting are a very small community that don't need this kind of elitest attitude. The fact of the matter is that the "new ground" you are breaking here in the form of surpassing manufacturer specifications is nothing to be proud of unless you are able to make it work to the level that it would inside the specs. As of yet I don't see it.

Personally I think you would be better off putting a 8300 chip on it. It would be within the specs, it would likely have integrated guiding, and if you really wanted to do these really large fields you could mosaic.

Finally I thought I would attach an image showing that the scope is still lacking. The second image is mine and while it was made with a safe smug f5 system on a eq5 it is deeper than your f3 and has more resolution.
