Thanks Marc. Imaging at 3400mm takes no prisoners that’s for sure . Even the slightest tracking error shows up. FSQ’s are far more forgiving.

Ta Andy. As you have gathered there is alot more field that I cropped out for effect. The 4k x 4k file looks awesome...but I’d like to re-shoot the red channel as the seeing didn’t quite match the blue and green.

Closer to a Hubble image than a FSQ image
LOL sometimes you just have to take the senic drive, despite the traffic. Suffice to say image resolution and perceived sharpness are not equivalent. I have a cracker Sigma Art series lens that produces tack sharp imagery....but bugger-all image scale. The really tricky bit is to get both
