....and want to play around with "what stuff would look like if" then visit this site, add your telescope, barlows or reducers, ....then choose whether you are imaging or seeing and either add cameras or eyepieces. Select your target and what you see is what you will get. For those who haven't seen this site, it is a fun place to stop from time to time.

"Up" is sometimes a whole lot better than "down" - especially with photography!

Man, that is great!
And it is current enough to include my stuff.
Even the Barlow's. (I have a 2X, and 3X)

Now... if only I can get good enough. :hunf: :lol:

I just ran my set up and Jupiter.
From my viewpoint this simulator is very accurate to my observations. Including stacked Barlow's.
So I would recommend it for comparison of equipment one is considering as well.
