Another interesting comparison, the 1200mm scope obviously outdoes the 150mm one ..... Duh..... However on a cost vs image basis mikes well ahead.
Interesting color difference, all the amatuer ones I've seen always have the pink rather than the orange, I haven't checked the details of the uk one but I make the assumption they have just used the alpha line and not included the beta one, even so i personally prefer a deep red if thats the case interesting just to see the detail in the faint reflection nebulosity around the head area.

Edit.... Will have a read on the bottom of the image for details of uk shot..... Hehe just looked at the picture.

Further edit... I see they've just used the red and blue plates, some amateurs have been doing that , downloading the different plates and combining them to create their own versions... It was in a mag a while back....
