Neat idea and the results good. The effective focal length of that combination must be huge, like 2,000 mm or so.

Amazing results Peter! Did you focus on the moon or the mountain? The depth of field looks huge.

20-60 x 80 scope is 3000mm equiv. I'm not certain about using the 2x telephoto on 11 pro has any effect.
The Landove scope has minor chromatic aberration - so if I want to get really serious about this I'll be upgrading the scope.
