For sure Rick, the scope brings in the photons quick. Its chalk and cheese compared to operating at F/9! I actually collected around 6 hours of data but not all was usable due to high winds at SSO. I'm finding that a carbon fiber tube of this size is a bit of a sail. The scope is however reasonably sheltered on the western side of the observatory. Thanks for checking it out.
