This is kind of ehhhh.  I'm in very high light pollution and these broadband targets are hit and miss for me.  I use the Triband for everything as I think there's a net benefit in high light pollution.  But, usually if I don't have something really good after 6 hours, I move on.  I think this target will require at least double this amount of time to get something good.  I might do it, or move on to something else.  I'll have to see...

Hey RJ,

 

I am wondering if you think your 60 mm could capture the companion to Antares, which is 2.5" distant. If your exposure is sufficiently short, you could beat the seeing difficulty. What focal ratio would you need for your camera to achieve the needed resolution? Thanks.

Hmmm... I don't know.  I doubt I could do that though.  Thanks.
