My Best ETA Carina NGC3372 with zoom
Hi Guys,
I was amazed how clear saturday night was in Melb considering the bush fire haze etc. Gave the keyhole a go 10 x 5 minutes at ISO800 with the C10 f4.7 350d unmodded. autoguided with ED80 and DSI II. used baader UHCS and MPCC. Now i believe there is a huge difference compared to an 8" scope. imagine 12" or even higherrr gee's..
Cheers.

The James Webb space telescope will be launched in 2013 and cost 4.5 billion dollars. I've given them your e-mail address if they want deep space images and told them not to waste their money.

Mate, those are exceptional!
Yep Paul Mayo swears by his 12" scope, and his results show that too. So when do you get your 12"? ;-)

Excellent !!.
