I do want a lot of smaller objects, like PN's and small galaxies. I know nothing compensates for aperture, I'm just cheating.  |
Seems like most(?) of the Sony-derived chips exhibit pretty shocking amp glow, if not dealt with correctly. The 294 looks great on paper though.
I hear you on the aperture front...I jumped in with a 178 for galaxy chasing with my Esprit 100
hence first hand experience with the dreaded amp glow
it's no doubt exacerbated by small pixels on small scope syndrome, and given your penchant for 30 second subs on a bigger, faster scope, you'd probably be OK
