I've acquired the diminutive Meade 70mm aperture f/5 refractor with goto pointing and am enjoying the experience. These images show the amazing stellar penetration and detail possible from such a small telescope aided by sensitive superfast download USB2 Starlight Xpress HX516 and MX916 monochrome CCD cameras. Typically NO FILTERS are used and recently the ETX-70 has been piggybacked on my LX200 for better tracking. These images are a record of my progress over recent months.

QUASARS: Remotest object recorded with the ETX-70 - the mag 15 gravitationally lensed quasar in Lynx at 12BLY range and relatively 'close' 3C273 in Virgo!
