Colour is a little off due to altitude and chromatic aberrations at such a high magnification , but I was just haven some fun and wanted to see just what it would do.
A ToUcam is equivalent to about a 4-5 mm eyepiece in a 4x powermate in a 600mm FL scope ---way over the limits , like 500x visual .
I think if you serious about a good planetary refractor one of the 100mm Synta Orions would turn out some nice results and then there is the reported 5" units coming as well , that would be sweet.
There is just something about the contrast of an unobstructed telescope that has kept refractors alive with the onslaught of the Dob and SC brigade .
I think even though I love my planetary Newtonian I will always have a refractor in my arsenal , though it will be of ED quality or above from now on.
Thanx for the comments guys.
