With calm steady skies the Starfire would make a cracker of this region I am sure  ....err? I guess the crappy BRC with your tiny chip might do an O-K job too ..?

You know no matter what scopes I use I always love a top refractor image.
They are hard to beat. Sometimes it comes down to practicalities like time
and F ratio. But refractors seem to capture the object in a beautiful way.
If we could get a practical and affordable APO of 250mm aperture and fast F ratio then yeah it would be unbeatable.
On Astromart, a guy has listed a 200m TEC fluorite triplet for US$30,000 - wow! They are no longer made and 180mm is the largest Yuri now makes.
He owes me a 180mm. Perhaps soon, I was promised end of Sept - patience!
Greg.
