DOn't know for sure Asi, it could be a lot due to aperture, I've been able to get more banding detail with the C9.25 compared with my 7 inch Mewlon - I've attached a 7in shot with good CD but little banding below. I haven't tried the 6in acro on Saturn before, but also suspect with the very subtle colouratio of Saturns banding that chromatic aberration on the acro is probably masking things a little too.

... did I mention too that snakes scare the #%@$ out of me

cheers matee,
