I was trying some things out last night, to see how much I could eek out of my kit...
These are all shot with my QHY5v guidecam (about VGA), my C80ED (600mm ED scope) and various Barlows... (a Barlow is an astro version of a TC).
a 2 pane mosaic using a pair of x2 barlows for x4 (fl 2400mm)
Theophilus (61 miles), Cyrillus and Catherina (
a 4 pane mosaic using a 5x barlow (fl 3000mm)
Top down
Ptolemaeus (93 miles), Abategnius, Alphonsus, Arzachel, Purbach, Reigomantus, Werner and Aliacensis
The Alpine value region
Then I got really silly, and put a 2x on the 5x... (roughly 930x magnification, my scope is only supposed to handle about 160x under ideal conditions ).
Pallas/Murchison, Trisnecker, up to Mare Vaporum
And finally
Stofler 76 miles across
