He he

I'd go the 24" on an El Capitain too though
Res?, is there anything else that counts? (apart from the massive extra photons captured for a given time, duh). On the 17" with a 0.66 reducer (cant see one for the 24") the FL is 2270mm. Out of the oh-dear, another-soso-WW-done-that zone and short of the postage stamp size gear you bang on about .
