The CSC said we were in for poor seeing, so I almost didn't set up. Glad I did, though.
These have not been resized like all the others--I added my cheap 2x Barlow to the Televue Barlow, giving a nominal focal length of 10,000 mm. That's f/40 in the 10" LX200. I was worried about being able to focus at that much magnification, but I think I did OK. I tried a new trick: I used the Universal Access system preference on the iBook to enlarge the display 2x, and then focused the image on the screen. I think it made it easer to see when I was approaching focus.
These are pretty close to the view I got at 515x through the eyepiece. For allegedly poor seeing, I was impressed.
