Great image, a 0.1x flattener means a 600 mm scope is now 60 mm?

Great work, beautiful image. It must be nice having several clear nights every year.

Not quite mate, the Z 61 is 61mm aperture @ 360mm focal length Thus using a (0.1x TYPO apologies) should be 1.0X flattener the focal length remains unchanged
