I posted some images of the Tarantula here recently based on subs from my asi533mc and Askar400 apo (72mm 5.6).

I havent used my espirit100 for a while since getting the Askar400 and new Ioptron CEM40 mount and wanted to see how well that mount managed the 11kg weight of my older Espirit setup with asi071mc pro. Seemed to manage no different to the much lighter Askar/asi533 combo so pleased on that score.

Here's 5 and a half hours of 180s subs taken over two nights with the asi071mc pro and Espirit 100ed using the Lextreme filter. Not quite as much depth as I got to before (running closer to ten hours) but finer detail I think.

C& C welcome.
