I enjoy your work and what you are accomplishing using a small achromatic refractor ... usually reserved for visual use only ... much more than the images posted on CN taken with $20,000 scopes, $15,000 mounts, $10,000 cameras and 20 hour exposures!

Even moreso as the original Meade ETX-70 Manual presumes it's unsuitable for such imaging Post Extras:       Pages: 1
