yes, i saw some images on cloudy night that simply looked wrong of mars. damien peach is still producing consistant ones of mars even now.

what is the formula for the limit for a 10" scope. visual they say 60x your 10" ie 600.

in great seeing two mornings ago, i was at 500x and i believe with a top planetary ep, i could have pushed that 600x limit, but in theory this seems correct.

With the 5x powermate i can theoretically get between 1040 and 1600x, so what is the theoretical limit in mag??
