This always happens. Just when I have convinced myself to get a big refractor some smarty-pants planetary astrophotographer shows me why SCT's are the number 1 choice for planets.
Rofl, thats funny, been called a lot of things in my life; mostly not too kind but never a smarty pants planetary astrophotographer. I think I will take that as a compliment. Yeah SCT do have the edge over the shorter length refractors. If you spend say 30K on the ota of a refractor, you could get way better images than I have. Or even say getting a c9.25. Yeah that was really funny......Cool...
Paul as a suggestion, would it be prudent to add a nicely formatted text date field under or near each phase, just to add to the appreciation of what you have done?
Great work Paul !
It's OK the shots are not perfect, caus thats just how it looked at the eyepiece over the last few months.
Keep up the great work, I too look forward to the final image.
Agree..Nicely presented Paul. Venus is another good target for this sort of thing.
