All,

These were taken by Pete Lardizabal with the AP 130 GT and a 7D. Quality is second to none. Many thanks to Pete for letting me post these!

Looks like the website is compressing the pics. Far more details on the originals, so you can judge from there. I figure about a 40% loss of detail from the same sized originals.

Link to the larger versions. Be sure to click on "original" size.

Great pics. I can't get the link to the yahoo group to work though. It goes to the group but I can't see any photos.

Definitely very good images.
But at this size at least I don't see them being much better than anything that could be done with the other scopes used here. I don't mean these telescopes aren't better, I just doubt a DSLR would take advantage of any increase of resolution they can provide.
Can you post 100% crops of these images?

I agree. They look oversharpened to me.

I'll ask Pete to join in since they are his pics.

You'll have to join the AP group to see the better ones. The images with the wood duck fill a 30" screen quite nicely.

I saved and blew up the one on the right. No 'splashes', just pixels.
It breaks into diagonally-staggered pixels instead of scissor-cut
lines/dark lines. So it looks like no sharpening. Saturation maybe slightly
bumped, but it seems to be the diagonal pixelation that gives it
the appearance of a sharpening shadow. Very nice at any rate.
The color really carries the texture.
