Congratulation for your fully operative new observatory, a hard job to complete it but you start collecting the fruits 
Ciao

PS: do you see what mega data can produce also for you ?   |
Thanks Marco
Yes the new observatory is great. Today I'm taking out the brand new 12" F5 GOTO Dob and making a flat spot for it to sit on, this will be my visual instrument to bide my time with while the imaging scope chugs away
Yes well not sure I truly have the patience for regular 20+ hr images
(I get bored
)....buuut ya never know, besides 20hrs means completely different things for different size and speed scopes and cameras anyway. While more exposure is generally always a good goal, simply plucking arbitrary total exposure figures out of the air as some sort of imaginary mark of seriousness just makes me laugh...in the end we
could write what ever details we wanted in our image credits, no one would be the wiser
