As for resolution, thered be nothing to stop you using a tele extender or fully corrected 2 inch barlow if a bigger image scale is wanted?

Keep the images coming

Thanks everyone for having a look, these images are a blast to be involved in producing and I am going waiting for my new camera

ASA will have a new 1.8X extender coming from LOMO in Russia very soon and I am earmarked to recieve the first one for testing . Of course I can't see me running out of regions that are suited to wide but still high res imaging at the native F3.8?

While I am still ahead at F3.8, if I can take her under real dark skies I will truely be able to avoid the super long exposures generally required to get anything decent under light polluted skies.
