I had to have a go.  This is a 4 panel mosaic.  This was an experiment to see if anything could be gained by going to silly focal lengths.  The answer was "No".

More resolution seems to be gained by stepping up to 3,200 mm (F16) with my Tal200k.  Going beyond that just creates more work and frustration.  Diffraction, atmospherics and other issues make it pointless.

Equipment used

Telescope: Tal200K F32 6400mm
Camera: ASI120mc
Mount:: EQ6 Pro

Processing notes...

Tried at 8000mm.  Didn't capture any more detail than at 3200mm.  Just got a smaller area.

Probably the mos imaged crater.  The object is to see how many craters that you can count.
