I think you approached the Dawes Limit of the scope… I see other pictures on the net using a 102 and 5x powermate and they look about the same.. How’s your collimation?
Hi Dave.
I though about that too and when I read your previous email it made sense to me… I'll have to try with a 3x Barlow and see if there is an improvement.
The collimation is prefect on this scope.
I have an 8" f/4 refractor (812mm focal length) that I haven't try in a while so I'll do more test with that too.
But overall I think you're right and I've gone over the Dawes limit which explain the issue I see.
Thanks for the reply and clarification.
Regards, Rodolphe.
