Power Mate 4x

I tested 2" Power Mate 4x on Sunday.

I attached Power Mate to TSA-120 to take videos of Jupiter, Saturn, and the moon (Prime Focus). The images were too small and not able to process any decent ways (the moon was all right). For planets I may need another PM or Barlow to bring up images larger. I wonder to spend another dollars on Barlow (or PM) could be good idea Since I'm not that serious about imaging (I just want casual imaging I could show to my friends on smartphone or something), I may get Baader Zoom with Barlow to attach my DSLR to use as Eyepiece Projection...

Visual performance of Power Mate was great. Actually very surprised. I compared LE12.5 plugged into Power Mate 4x with Nagler Zoom 6-3mm. It is hard to tell any differences apart very slight better light and contrast on Nagler side.

Cheers
