Hi Mike,

The lighting is practically the same alright, even though your image is a slightly smaller image scale IMO it shows a better grade of detail than mine, I would say your seeing was a fair amount better.

Thanks,

Posidonius and the edge!

Mike,

Amazing detail, as I have said before the combination of the 2.5x Powermate and the Infinity 2-2 camera and your 18" Starmaster is something to behold.
I just sold my 14.5 Starmaster and have some extra Astro cash now and have considered buying a 2-2 or maybe waiting on Paolo's new camera.

Thanks,

Beautifully detailed image with IMO excellent processing, I think some of your excellent seeing from the 13th moved up my way on the 14th, great image.
