Sometimes the smaller scope works best when the seeing isn't cooperating, and on saturday this was definitely the case. The image I took of this active region with the 127mm was soft, blurry and lacking in definition, however the smaller 70mm was less sensitive to the poorer conditions and as a result the image that came out actually had more sharpness, detail and definition. This was taken with the 70mm PST mod at 800mm focal length with the DMK31 camera.
