Some very nice images by Alan and Jim from last night/this morning. I was also out fiddling with my new 8" f/6 newt and took the following image with my NexImage camera. Any tips from the pro's on how to improve? I used 10 fps, and collected about 60 seconds of video. Also, I was using a 3X Televue Barlow to get to f/18. Additionally, I have a question...I tried to stack 2x and 3x Televue barlows, but found that the two don't stack well (I think) because the tube of the 2x (which is shorter than the 3x) doesn't seat down all of the way into the 3x--there isn't enough depth in the 3x. Is that a problem? Or does that just affect the multiplication factor of the combo?
