You decide; the above picture of M3 was taken with Teide 2 at slooh.com, under excellent weather conditions in the Canary Islands in Spain, virtually free from light pollution. I reserved a slot on Sunday, April 10, 2011 to get this image of M3 and compare it with my own. The specs of the telescope are:
Dome 2
Primary Instrument: 0.35 meter f/11 Schmidt-Cassegrain
Field of View: 13.1 × 8.8 arc-minutes
Camera Resolution: 2,184 × 1,472 pixels
Compare this to my picture with a modest NexStar 5SE in my light polluted backyard.
