Low, just over the roofs so the seeing was good visually only up to about 35x. Dropped down barlow to f/9 for this one.

This is great, I always hear about how vital double stacking is and how great it is for imaging but to be honest I don't see anything that makes me want more out of your image. Yes DS does show more detail but if this is more or less what I can aspire to when I get my single stack 60 soon then I'm happy!.

I bought 80 SS with a possible DS upgrade in the future. Only now have I bought the mound which would at some point be able to deal with the DS imbalance. Also, DS means you need another custom case, etc. I am sure DS is better, but I gotta pace my spendings. Would love a front DS option, but I guess Lunt is doing this to a price point.

Had enough expenses with my Lunt, had to repair focuser (damaged in transport) and postage for swapping my ghosting BF1800 almost cost like a new one. But Lunt is my most enjoyable purchase, still...
