First Mars for new (to me) C8. Bought to be used as light weight camping scope, but it appears to have some imaging potential. Hope to try images in the future at longer fl than f/12.

Interesting to see how a mass produced scope will do against TEC 8" Mak imaging Mars. I think I know the answer...

Regards,

Angel

Forgive my ignorance, but I'm wondering how you determine what the seeing conditions are and what does the 2/10 ratio mean. Thanks
