Hi Alan,

I would be a happy man if the best Mars image I had was as good as that. Another fine piece of work!

Thanks Robert your comments are appreciated.
I placed my Meade #140 2x barlow into my diagonal, placed my 2.5x Powermate into the Meade and put the Toucam into the Powermate.
Before I checked the focal ratio in K3CCD Tools I figured I'd get to about f/50 to f/52 with that combo, but it brought me to f/60. Maybe it had to do with the primary mirror being closer towards the rear cell to get into focus creating the longer focal length/ratio?
