Nice shot - I live in a place with a reputation for good seeing but it's
not living up to that recently (bad low level winds - the upper atmos is
typically really good right now). You said you took the image with a
C8 at f/35. I am having trouble getting to f/20 so I normally shoot at
f/10. Any advice?

Thanks. Normally I shoot at f/50 but I wanted to try a different
eyepiece and extension tube setup. I use a 15.5mm and a 9mm eyepiece
with varying distances from the chip. Experimenting to see what works
best. I havent used barlows, just eyepiece projection.

Adriano, that looks nice and natural, even with the rather bad "setting" of
this year's apparition.
