Laurie and Graeme, thanks guys for words of encouragement, I think finer detail finally starts to show up.. here's another low power shot taken two hours earlier.

I currently own Meade's variable 2x-3x Barlow and WO 1.6x piece from the Binoviewer. Would you recommend something along the line of TV Powermate or Meade's Telextender? A friend of mine offered to lend me his 4x TV but I think it may be too strong for this SCT.
