Hi Matt

I've been punishing myself for over 6 years with astrophotography in general, from 35mm film to CCD, Meade LIP and now the ToUcam. All the stuff I learned, equipment foibles, seeing, software, etc during that period was available to me when I started with the C9.25 and ToUcam approx 6 months ago.

If you have started from ground zero with a C9.25 and ToUcam - I take my hat off to you. It is a big piece of glass with a long focal length and can be very unforgiving. My first Jupiter’s were with the Meade LPI and a 4” f9 (918mm focal length) refractor, which was tough, but quite forgiving and manageable.

I would not have liked to start my Jupiter career with a C9.25 and a ToUcam.

Cheers

Dennis
