  • Wow! Awesome image from the frames captured! Much higher magnification than I've achieved with my 10" newt (the seeing never seems good enough here to be able to use my 5x Powermate, so have to make do with 2x barlow).

  • Loving the face on the diaphragm. Can this technique be applied to other easily seen objects? I see it used a lot on the Moon or even the Sun, but I never heard of it being used on, say Jupiter. Great work as always :)
