Roland Christen remarked several months ago about the virtues of
barlowing up an APO to get maximum resolution. You are really showing that to be an excellent way to go.
You would be very hard pressed to better that result even with a large RC.
You are showing an excellent APO has real real depth potential. Not everyone likes the diffraction spikes of compound scopes.
That's it, I'm ordering the Baader FFC from AP!

Thanks a lot Greg!! Hey, I thought you were going to get that Baader a while ago? I'd love to see what the 180 would do with it!
I may give longer FL a rest for a while. I notice I haven't yet done much at the native FL of the TOA (1095mm with flattener).

Hey Jase - much appreciated!! Hadn't seriously considered entering that comp yet ... hmmmmm
BTW, this was the first image with my new Robofocus - what a difference
that makes!!!!! Hassle free, reliable, consistent and
remote focussing - woo-hoo!!!

Long live..?...medium FL......yaaaay  oh and reproed repro's too  |
Sorry mate, not into repros either! Well, not entirely true - I've quietly tweaked a couple of images as I picked up new tools & techniques - just haven't advertised them. Appreciate the comments though
Cheers, Marcus
