Pup split with Celestron C9.25

Hello,

As a comparison against the Mewlon 180 F12, here is a stacked image of Sirius taken through the Celestron C9.25 F10 with essentially the same set up; a TeleVue x4 PowerMate and DMK31, albeit in seeing judged to be slightly inferior, estimated at 6 to 7/10 on 7th Feb 2009.

What was really surprising, were the patterns of diffraction spikes in an SCT that only has a central obstruction, no spider vanes????

Cheers

Dennis
