Hi everyone,

Ok, I made my decision. It's going to be the webcam for planets. I already own a 2X Powermate. So which higher power should I go to? And which one, Barlow, Powermate, or OCS and why?

Thanks,

At F/4.3 you could add a 4x or 5x Powermate and do well. Wes Higgins has a setup similar to your's and his awe-inspiring images are shot with a 5x Powermate.

Good luck!!
