Not sure your getting a lot of value from an AO-X at 1160mm (??). I only ever needed to use my AO-L at F11.7 on my Tak.

Provided you can get a 5-10Hz guide star, I find the AO-X does tighten stars up even at 1160mm..
and OK... but are you *sure* you don't want to see the H-alpha version

What is your sampling with this setup?

Sorry to say, some errant pixels were seriously harmed with Photoshop to smooth out the 1.66 arc/sec per Pixel data.

I am going to say you would maybe on need another 4 hours or so in Ha and maybe even another hour in each colour for it to really smooth out. The TSA would be 40 hours.

An OS RHA?
Aren't they f3.0? Careful what you wish for....

Thanks Steve... the reality will probably be the weather making the extra data decision for me.
