I've really enjoyed the challenge of the f/10 and after 2 nights now with the f5, I'd have to say I'm struggling  it just picks up too much sky glow. I know the moon is lighting up the sky like Times Square but my f/10 could deal with that within reason.
Anyway Evan, thank you very much for sharing. |
Thanks mate
I'd imagine your f/5 scope will throw up some different challenges than what you've been used to. The sky glow will certainly become an issue more quickly.

Can a single 16sec exposure show much detail in a nebula? If you use that approach will you need to take hundreds of images and stack?
Have you considered guiding your f/10 scope? If your mount allows it, you could get longer exposures by guiding.
