The one of Jupiter is great especially considering that you weren't using a high speed camera & stacking the photos. I bet with frame stacking you'd get a lot better? That seems to be as good - if not better than my 8" custom built Newtonian although after 8 attempts I have yet to obtain ideal seeing conditions. There is a nice contrast between the black background & the planet. Refractors may be worth the extra money. It would be nice to have a refractor as well as a Newt. I bet the Unitron would give a better view than many larger SCTs & Newts? -------------------- Location: Melbourne Australia. 8" f6, 2.1" secondary mirror, custom built Newtonian with JMI EV-3n Focuser & NEQ6 Pro mount.
