I had some very high quality eyepieces that would take magnification on my scope up to about 500x. Of course the image started getting blurry due to atmospheric turbulence, but the views were magnificent. The Moon looked like you could reach in front of the telescope and touch it! The Cassini division of Saturn's rings was very clear. At higher powers, you could actually tell that the moons of Jupiter were spheres instead of points of light! Globular clusters were resolved into their individual stars too. I loved my scope, but it was just too unwieldy to be used as much as I wanted to. To answer your question, I never had a CCD camera or the equipment to hook up a 35mm camera, so I never got any pictures. =( I want to get another scope eventually, but this time it's going to be an 8" that is more easily transportable and easier to set up. Zee ya!
