This is the first image I got to try my new Tele Vue 2X Barlow in concert with my 5X Powermate for a whopping 10X focal length of my NP127 at effective f/52! Here's the result. Comments on how to improve the image is warmly welcome.

Enjoy,

Hi Ron -

I think you are using all 5" inches here! Is it time for more firepower aperture wise? Nice work -

Similar to what I'm getting with my TMB 130 F/9.25.
