I don't know how he would have gotten the whole galaxy on a single
frame shooting through an LX200. That's 2000mm of focal length. Even
with a 6.3 reducer, I don't think so. This looks like it was shot with
a small APO. His shot actually looks similiar to what I'd get through
my TV-85 at 600mm. It just doesn't make sense.
