The intended use for this instrument was the recording of brighter comets but there are not too many of those so in between I have to find other uses for it.
For DSO's it will be beaten by the FSQ106/ST1100 combination, which provides the same field of view at somewhat less speed but at higher resolution. However for comets the Companar/QHY8 should have the advantage.

Hi Stefan, great image!
Would you be able to present this image at the next AP section meeting on the 19th Jan?

Cheers
