This evidence-based discussion is like a breath of fresh air. My perception of medicine and pathology for the last 30 odd years is that (often younger) specialists are now almost embarassed to express an opinion without being able to reference evidence in peer-reviewed literature. Very different to many years ago when senior specialists and their empirical knowledge were unquestioned.

Opinions from experienced astrophotographers will always be important, but evidence and sold mathematics are great to see, especially as the number of options in range of amateurs continues to expand. And the statement that there's never one perfect 'scope for everyone has never been more true.

I'm just embarassed I've never looked at a decent spreadsheet for exposure times, although I have read up a bit. Must get on with it!
