[AZ-Observing] Re: Amazing Saturn and Jupiter

Amazing! You can really tell if something is going on there, can't you? How do 
you get f/68 out of a C14? Or is that f/6.8? Must be f/68 to look that good. 
I've heard of up to f/100 on some scopes. Stopped down or some lens combo?

These two images were posted on the SBIGUSER list by Ed Grafton of Houston,
Texas. Before the days of the Hubble I doubt that photos this good had been
taken from any Earth-based observatory no matter how large, yet these were
taken with a plain Celestron C14 and a simple ST6 camera. See
