Nice one Peter.
btw) I thought your RCOS was a 12.5" ? (as opposed to a 14.25")

Best 104 I have seen, great looking through the galaxy to the dusty lanes on the far side.
Clear skies Ken.

Ta Clive.... I did own a 12" Carbon tube for a time, but I've had the 14.25 Truss for a while now.
(I might add it's been sitting in the spare room for over 18 months, with new enhanced silver coatings....that have yet to see first light...  )

Seriously.....It's like comparing amateur stuff to the Hubble...(most non-German) amateurs are using crayons
Once you start looking at 1:1 scale versions, their data is sublime...though I do very much appreciate your kind comments....I am still only imaging from The Shire.

Well yes Peter,
when you start to look at their keyhole nebula you
feel like selling your telescope - at least I do - LOL -

No one can beat the Advanced Chilean robotic 32" telescope.

Thanks. I've always been of the opinion you need focal length for faint-fuzzies. Might be time to to move away from...as Fred likes to say ...WWF... and re-mount the RC!
