The modest 1140mm FL and superb unobstructed optics are adequate to reveal plenty of detail across the board plus you have the large 1.8deg X 1.2deg FOV at good resolution with the KAI11002 (even bigger field with your 16803 chip!) to fit heaps in too. It's a reasonable substitute for a much larger RC with narrow FOV and a bulbous near 50% obstruction really (and quite a bit cheaper even) ...and she's portable to boot
. I am continually amazed at the results it can deliver with just 152mm, even in poor conditions, it really is a purler of a scope and I feel very lucky to have one.
Mind you, I'd like a bigger high quality RC or CDK or ideally a Keller Corrected Cassegarain RC killer too of course, if had the dosh...and a clear open sky...and a dark location...and an observatory..and....
