Yeah I’m with Marc…dunno why you’d fiddle around with a baby scope when you have a beast

Planetary is all about resolution, which comes from aperture, as I’m certain you already understand.

The refractor will give “pleasing” results on an average night, whereas the beast won’t, it’ll show you the truth of the signal and what the atmosphere is doing to it. The refractor is limited by the resolving abilities of a 6”. There’s no escaping that. On a good night the beast will eat the ‘frac for lunch and truly soar from a detail perspective…

Just my 2c of course, but if you want to give it a go while the gas giants are still well placed, gimme a yell
