congrats on 100 posts Mike!
last night was very nice and clear, but the temperature kept falling and falling and falling. I went to bed at a round 12ish and got up at 3am and still the mirror was not at the same temp as the ambient.
I am running another test as we speak.
I got good detail using my 12mm and 2.4x barlow. Even with the 12mm i can see dark smudges at times.
For your scope I would suggest the 15mm barlowed to give you 7.5mm, but you may have to go a 9mm or a 7mm for those great nights when you want to push the detail.
Have a look at my 6.5mm and 12mm and the different barlows next get together in your scope. You will get a good feel for image size and detail if the seeing is good!
I will love to have a look at your 2" barlow if it is still around at the end of the month to see if the view is going to be better than the ultrawide 15mm of andrews????
We must also go thru collimation next meet!
