thanks dennis

7-8 mag with the toucam.... argh! maybe thats enough for the brighter doubles.

well atleast it gives me something to think about.
Just to reiterate so your expectations are not dashed.....expect noise and horrible looking images at 16 seconds, due to lack of cooling. Might be slightly better in winter when it's 0 deg outside though? Also, don't forget the strain on your tracking system if using Barlow’s.

The doubles I grabbed with the LPI were using my Vixen 4” f9 refractor and a Vixen GPDX mount, which is quite a good, steady combination for wide-ish doubles.

Cheers
