John,

are the sets the same picture, just zoomed in electronically after you took them?

Volker,

The last photo's were the second set I took that first night, I hand picked the first two that I presented out of both sets to give a good impression. So two of them possibly could have been the same, but I didn't zoom in electronically to present them. What I meant by zooming in was in Windows using the scroll feature. It really gives a good view.

Seeing was good last night so I pulled my newly collimated AT111 out for a test. I tried to be a little more scientific about it this time in that I used the computer to capture and file the star images. Just by comparing the Canon XTi Camera with an eye piece, I figure it to be about the same as a 20mm EP. So I figure the lo power pictures to be about 80X. For the last 4 hi power pix, I used a projection camera adapter with a 12.5mm ortho EP on my Canon XTi Camera. It's a very hi magnification, but I'm not sure how to figure the exact amount because it is a variable adapter. Does anyone have any Idea what it would be with it set at about 1/3? I was able to crank in there pretty good this time, what do you think?
