Very nice image Zhou. Is it the original size or was it reduced? I ask you this because I'm planning to do some planetary imaging with my FS102 but I only have a 2.5X powermate. I was afraid that a 5X would have been a little too much to handle for the 4" but it seems that you did it. This means you were imaging at approximately F40!

Thanks for sharing.

Vixen ED102SS is a F6.5 telescope, when use TV5Xpowermate then the final F/ratio is F33, and this is a original size photo.
FS102 can bring more contrast and detail than ED102SS, I also purchased a FS102 one month ago but it not been delivery to me now.
The color balance was not been modulated good when shoting, I think the color need more yellow.
