It's an academic discussion Ken, not a personal attack. People are allowed to discuss this and not agree, or have a difference of opinion, or even suggest that there is nothing really to moan about when imaging at native focal lengths. I am not ripping Mike a new one, I am discussing the topic and suggesting he has nothing really to moan about. That is a valid discuss point. I hear this business all the time from DSO imagers and it always makes me laugh.
Just for the record, seeing defects are multiplied many times over when imaging at 6000+mm. At 12,000 mm it is like watching something in a washing machine. Imaging at 800-1000mm has little effect and can only be seen via guide record generally. My point is to show that everything is relative. From my perspective talking about seeing at low focal lengths is quite humorous.
Next time I just won't bother.
