Prior to that, I failed with my 100mm F11 with 275x. The seeing was not good on that evening and even 180x seemed to be too much magnification.

Hi Bob

I dug this one out of the archives, taken back in 2005 with my Vixen ED102S F9 Refractor, Meade LPI Camera, x5 PowerMate and Vixen x2 Barlow, giving me 91800mm at F90!

Cheers
