Hi All,
just trying a new scope, was reasonably happy. Looks like it will work as I hoped.

Very nice Gary, I really like the crispness of 253

Yep, that's the beauty of beggar all image scale, they all look good. 800mm focal length has its advantages after all.

Hi Gary,

all very good images. Like the Silver Coin= one of my favourites.

Very nice threesome. Razor sharp and nicely guided and focused. Isn't Omega just gorgeous?

Cheers

Dennis

Without starting the debarkle about which is best (Omega/47 Tuc) it is my favourite. I got lucky with this shot, not all of them come out like this, believe me.

Excellent shots Gary, all very nice and sharp!

What new scope did you get?

Nice work Gary,

I particularly like the 253.

I did a deal on a Tak, an older one, an FC100. Notwithstanding my Zeiss ED80/840, (an ED lens) it is my first foray in Apoland. I love it, it sits better on the GEM, and even with the guidescope on top it is lighter etc than the 10" newt. OK, at f8 it is a bit slower, but the results so far have been encouraging.

Lovely images Gary.
