Rolf,

Your high resolution up-close work is stunning.

Would love to see you try this on Antares and M4. Would your setup bag the both of them? Or are they too far apart?

Thank you Humayun. I checked in Starry Night and M4 is actually 1.18 degrees from Antares. So that might require a serious mosaic if I want to get them both in the image with a 5x powermate... The FOV of the Homunculus shot is only around 60" x 50".
But aiming the powermate at the center of M4 (or Omega Centauri) would be interesting!
I'm thinking of trying some of the small bright planetary nebulae as well. Any good candidates? It would have to be bright for it to work at the long FL.
