Some questions...

Just a terrific image Paul! This leads me to a couple of questions (please forgive my ignorance, I'm new at this!) - what exactly is "positive eyepiece projection"? Do you project onto something, and what makes it "positive"? How do you get f40 - Barlows etc, or is it to do with the camera? I've mucked around lately with eyepiece projection to get images of the recent Mercury transit, sunspots etc, but just crudely with binoculars and a long cardboard box (telescope box!). Is your method in principle the same, just with much more sophisticated equipment?

Boy, that's a lotta questions!!! Sorry - if you ignore me I'll be suitably humbled!

Cheers -
