Swapped out my old piggybacked Meade scope for a shiny new 70mm f/6 refractor with supersharp ED optics - it's a dream and will post pics soon but here's a 20s shot from last night via main 30cm f/6 scope of the Ring Nebula in Lyra   |

Hmm, 70mm f6 is no big deal in photography - what's special about the lens?
