M42 15" F/2.8 Astrograph

Hello,

Very stunning image Ido. I too would like to more a few specific about your 15" astrograph if you don't mind.

Alan,

Rimae Pitatus is a very interesting area to study. Nice detail in Gauricus F too. You did an outstanding job capturing all the detail.

Cheers,

Is the C14 the best planetary scope?

Posted By James Witt

Dan,

I've only been involved with this hobby a little over a year now, so most have several "years" jump on me in knowledge and experience. As a matter of fact, I'll probably never know what the do. I think any quality optical telescope will do exceptionaly well on planetary imaging as long as you have the seeing conditions to allow it to happen.

My C14 has the same problem my as my 9.25", or MK91 or 16" Starmaster, that being the seeing condtions in my light polluted backyard (or where ever else I might go). So I say NO, the C14 isn't the best planetary scope whatsoever.

Here's one with my MK91 from my backyard. Just think what it can do with better seeing condition.
