Notes:
This image is a stack of 4 iso400 1/500th images. Cropped to make subjects larger for submission. Taken under breezy skies with the jet-stream overhead. Even the Jovian bands are visible in the full-size 8 and 16bit versions (just barely, but visible, indeed!).
I am very happy with this little 80mm refractor. Barely perceptable CA on very bright stars (after 300s exposure!) - no CA with visual or short exposures, using 40mm and 20mm 70deg FoV Explore Scientific eyepieces. Can't wait to try some tricolor with this scope!
