I really haven't been able to work on that. My tracking scope, my ETX 80, is being replaced. Without tracking I am just constantly moving the scope to try and keep the target in view.
The 1200 mm FL of the XT8i provides something comparable to 240X without the focal reducer. So you know how fast things move at that mag.
In the ETX 80 I am working with a 400 mm FL so I will get something around 80X. If the focal reducer works then it will be more like 40X. Now, even without tracking, the target will not be moving so fast.
Add the tracking of GoTo and I can lock onto a target and start to play with it, adjust exposure and averaging in the camera and the like. Then I can get a better idea of what I can do.
Until I get the ETX 80 back I won't be using the RI2.
