Thanks guys.

Broke out the 5X Powermate + short extension tube just for kicks, obviously WASN'T expecting any postable results but felt this final result is..!

Not sure how to answer that question Mark, but I'll try. The new 618 chipped camera I think, has a lot to do with it. I'm also certain that with Autostakkert's debayering algorithm, it must take a certain amount of responsibility as well. I'm also having reasonable luck with seeing although lately I'm being jetted out as I've said..

I'm not into putting tickets on myself, but I have a keen eye for focus, camera settings & post processing, but that comes from sheer familiarity which of course stems from doing it constantly > 'Practice makes perfect'..? < Yes indeed it does eventually.

Speaking of camera's, have ya'll seen this new release? (There's a mono version as well) http://www.theimagingsource.com/en_U...lor/dfk23g618/

I can't imagine shooting at 120 FPS with the 618 chip would be of much use on any object other than the moon/Sol to be honest..
