I can understand not wanting to go through another 100 avi's! My 17 from last night is already doing my head in.

Hi Mike
Thanks for those nice words. I'm not sure if I'm being an old stick in the mud by staying with my current set up/formula which seems to have served me well, but on the night of 4th Feb when the seeing was better (read longer spells of steadiness), I did try the x5 PowerMate and the image just broke down.
I may have just hit that sweet spot where all the elements have just come together for optimal results. When I’ve tried to tweak (e.g. up sample, RGB split, use the x5, etc), the results haven’t been too pleasing.
RobertT has been far more successful with the x4 PowerMate – maybe his technique, C9.25 optics, processing, etc are better?
Also, when I am having a good run and getting pleasing results with the x2.5, it would take a brave man to re-configure the system with the x4 and loose that slice of time if it didn’t work out!
However, the door is not yet closed, I’m considering that x4 PowerMate….
Cheers
Dennis
