Well that's about flat out insane results. Any specs on the data?
Here's a TEC200 version from my EOS DSLR
( 4 hours, binned 2x2 = 1.3 arcsec/pixel )

M51 is a great target for this kind of single shot. I wish all galaxies were equally cooperative. Looks like you have the potential for a great pic if you start stacking shots like this.

nice... this one would be easy to layer in short exp. given the sharp transition. You've got the hard part done!

Re: apo fetishPosted By Mike Clemens |
Interesting lens. Has it been re-oiled (or back to the hands of the creator)in its history? I wonder if its "related" to the design of Jim Phillips 9" f/15 AP lens.
I am using an 8" refractor also, and planets (when I can get 'em) are just unbelievable. I usually step up in power until its too much and then back right down. I've had nights on Saturn and Mars with the 8" TEC where I stepped all the way up to 550x magnification and sat there for an hour. Long live big APO !
I think you can get by with a 18" long dewshield for an 8" lens. Flock the inside and put a baffle at the extreme end and use a dew heater.
