If you're talking about the STL-11000M, you'll be getting 2.7x4 degrees FOV, massive! You'll also be getting ~3.64 arcsec/pixel. Don't get me wrong, it'll make it an absolute monster for wide field astrophotography and would work wonders on something like the North American Nebula, the whole Flame Nebula complex, even being able to capture a good portion of the Virgo Supercluster

Being a researcher, I am biased towards trying to get a near perfect sample
