Very promising first light images! The right camera will make a big difference. No disrespect to the venerable 450D ( and i still have my cooled version), something like an ASI1600MC-C would really take advantage of that scope. Fitting within the central obstruction it will maximise light grab, increase contrast, and with its ultra low noise you can take very short subs to escape sky glow saturation. It would excel at fast narrowband, if you go for a cooled mono camera (like the ASI1600MM-C), but a filter drawer system (try Teleskop-Services) would be needed to avoid a filter wheel blocking signal. Add a set of high speed narrowband filters and you have it all. An exciting project for sure.
