My images through my small gear is never going to look like what you get through the 14" unit with the EQ8 mount but I happily accept that, I play with what I have.
Hi Leo - I really appreciate the comments mate. Yes that's all from my B7 backyard. I've found that I really need in the region of 30hrs for broadband targets to be able to get a decent result - otherwise as soon as I start stretching and processing the detail falls to pieces. There are certainly things you can do with a 14" scope that you can't do with other gear, but there's a stack of targets that I can't even try to attempt from my location. The moon/planets are where I'll be focusing for the rest of the month!
