My 8" was the second RC8 in Australia was very sharp and worked well once I sorted the baffle issues. So don't be amazed, the optics are very good.
That takes me back a few years ago. That image is still in my gallery. Down the list a way now. There are a few videos I did for Sixty Symbols a few years back now. One in particular on imaging Saturn. It was great fun and part of my interest in public outreach. They asked me for permission to use various images from my website and I was pleased to help them out.

Hi Paul,
I can say that there were people who seriously doubted that you could get
pictures of that quality with a system costing 1/5th of the price of
the usual premium optics producers but you have proven them all wrong.
Well done.
( I am trying to put a 10" f4 carbon fiber Newt. together to get great results
so I think along the same lines as you.)
What an honour to get on to a 60 symbols video -
you're on a roll.
cheers
Allan
