Giovanni's images were one of the main reasons I decided to get this scope.

The other is Tak has never disappointed me and I also wanted to image at F5 as my time away is limited and I can't do megadata easily with the F9 RC which is what it really needs to do it justice.

Also something with a smaller profile for imaging when windy with my current observatory and location which is often a bit windy.

Wind doesn't bother the AP or the FSQ but the RCOS was a lot larger and stuck up into the windstream over the top of my observatory.

A Planewave CDK 17 inch or 20 inch would be something I'd be interested in for future setups. F6.8.

Greg.

The image of Sh2-136 at the top of the page is one of the most amazing astroimages I have ever seen
