You too would do that well, if you had a 2.4 metre wide mirror in your scope and it was in an orbit 400 or so kms up!!!!!. But we all don't have a spare few billion dollars to own one!!

Fred, look at it this way. Hubble cost about $5billion and it's a 2.4metre mirror floating 600kms up. Considering the resolution of both images, I think yours is the better one. That Tak epsilon is about 50000 times cheaper than the Hubble and has about 1/10 as large a mirror. Pretty damn good effort if I might say so!!!

Gendler gets to fiddle with the processing though, lucky sod. Imagine renting time on that mother, wonder if you get a discount for megadata (not that youd need it)

Well Greg, sometimes you have to swallow your pride and go WAY down down the ladder to get a different shot . Thanks .

LOL, you dont know how true that is, punk

I do find PME stainless steel weights much more satisfing hurridley contacting the celebral area though, and it doesnt seem to bother it one bit (the PME). The G11 on the other hand always needs realigning after such an awespicious event.
