Chart32 also has adaptive optics and is a multi million dollar scope.
You would have to go an order of magnitude greater in expense
to take better pics - maybe an RC with adaptive optics?
It's not worth it as sooner or later you'll get 1 arc second seeing
which might continue on good nights for years.
Anyway - you've got to be happy with what you've got now -
the results are amazing.


cheers

Hey Al, this is why Chart32 get such incredibly detailed images!..and without AO or BlurEx (they just don't need'em!)

This is a raw Fits sub, ie no decon, no BlurEX no sharpening! FWHM = 0.681 or more than twice as good as Eagleviews best! ..can only imagine
