About this image

Not a competely fair comparison as I would have needed a 3x Barlow to give comparable image scales for the QHY5111200M to the Player One Uranus-C and unfortunately I don't have anything at the moment that will do that. The only 3x Barlow I possess gives an image scale larger than the 4x through the filter wheel set-up so would not have been of use. The end result is having to make the QHY image larger to compare them and it will not have had the optimum resolution available as the Uranus-C had.
