Fantastic images really, and i'm kind of inspired to see you've use the same scope which i use for planetary/lunar, i love it, it really is a planet killer as you demonstrate here. 

You have made us Mak pack members proud lol!

Wow. 

Great, ultra clear, images but more than that as Sunshine states they really inspire others (especially newbies like myself) to what can be achieved.

Thank you so much ?

I love the Mak scopes ans i love this Mak. Outstanding optics and a very small shifting. A great tube. I've got an ES 2x focal extender but not used at that time because the atmospheric turbulence was too high the last summer with the planets at a low altitude.

Super images of the two planets.  

You have some wonderful images on your website.  “The Last Alien North” was an incredible setting to capture The Milky Way.

Thank you Richard.

Oh yes, my picture of King of Wings. I used my Nikon D750 Full Frame with my Samyang 12mm f/2.8 fish-eye AE FF lens. ?

Fantastic images, especially considering the modest size of the scope.
