yes tony that is a prime example of excessive photon collection
Scott will probably repaint it one day when he gets his mirrors re alimunised and Sio2 coating put on them, at the moment he images with a hazy mirror. Still trying to talk him into that one, but now he has his optical gadgets he may rethink that (did you hear that Scott). he would probably get at least 20% more light throught to the camera. His skills are to be commended, bit of an unsung hero but he has the respect of our AstroSociety. He is a very modest guy, and easy to get along with and no doubt will one day gather all his images and publish them in a book, especially the planetery faint fuzzies he has imaged.
