Superb detail. I wish I could get my surface to look like that. Great job.

Hmmm 

The surface detail....the difference between a single stack and the Quark??

I think he’s answering my question about surface texture. I’m using a SS and your using a quark. 

[Merlin66]

Yes. Different bandwidths, different results.

 

[Rattler]

Ah I see.

Also, using a x4 PM on an ED80 successfully shows you must have very good seeing conditions.

On the coast down here, I’m lucky if I can use the x2.5 PM or the ES x3.

Wow, I just bought a Combo Quark and 4X Powermate for its versatility. Also have a 2X ES Focal Extender I think is Telecentric also.

If I can get anything like this i will be over the Moon  had a PST previously .

Did you use a diagonal , how much backfocus did you need ? Extension tubes?

I also have a ES80ED ?

Appreciate any ideas , suggestions
