[Satchmo]

At the time Peter posted his Omega Cen pic If I remember from a _very long_ thread , all the 'tyre kickers' had fallen asleep waiting for you guys to sort out your drooping focussers , and the pictures I saw up until then were very average I certainly don't recall seeing anything decent up until that time .

Nice pics. Congratulations . There is nothing at least in theory that suggests that Newts can't work just as well with an amplifier lens . I suspect its due to the implemetation more than anything else. A cheap Barlow lens is not going to do the job.

So you don't consider the images I did long before Peter as remotely decent? You must have seen these below. Or do you only look at images produced in NSW?

Take a look at these

All posted right here on IIS and not exactly what I would call shabby either. You must have much higher standards than I do. (which I seriously doubt)
