I shoot at 4000mm focal length with the focal ratio at F11. Everything (polar alignment, collimation, tracking, etc) is exasperated greatly at those extremes. Its painful at times, but I love getting up close to these objects. I have made many mods to my equipment to get around the long focal length problems. Admittedly I need a better scope, but I don't get much observatory time so I'm happy to stick with the C14 for now.
