very nice set Rik, Interesting , subtle differences between the RGB & RRGB.

Personally don't think much has been gained by going to F44- Like James i think the F34's are very nice !! Great blue swirls !!

F34 is plenty imho. I'm having trouble with f20!!! Nice subtle processing...

f/44 is more than 2x overscaled for max resolution at f/20 for this camera, but what's interesting - that scope was made in 1983/4 and look what potencial power amateurs have since then (except the camera which is relatively new on the market). And how good such scope is. We have 2010 now at it gives technically excellent image even at f/44 :] even without super coatings, super mirrors and ACF/EDGE/HD addons.
