Thanks for the comment Martin. The real test would be to obtain more data, like you said in one of your posts - you need a minimum of 2 hrs on galaxies. These images were 30 mins and less. My test was to see whether increasing the image scale would outperform the resolution of a shot taken at the prime focus of this 4 inch scope. Looking at images of these objects previously taken with this scope at prime focus, indicate there is a definite improvement.
Had I not had power failure issues with the equipment last night, I would have collected more data and the result would have been much better. I have used the Powermate for planetary before but I have a very nice 2X Barlow lens which I use more often as it fits in the T Adapter with an eyepiece a lot better.
I'm looking forward to planet season!
