Even so the 694 has higher QE especially in the narrowbands where its around 50% more sensitive.

Yeah, maybe Greg, maybe....

But 9micron pixels are no doubt much more sensitive that 4.54micron pixels, so I feel your wide-field setup should be faster in getting high SNR.
As for the first light, Iam really impressed again and again how good the optical alignment is out of the box |

No problem at all Suavi and I think I could even agree with you
and
Thanks Pete, wait till ya both see the LMC shot I am working on
...the Ha is simply mind blowing, highly detailed and perfect pin point stars corner to corner...this scope is bloody amazing, it has rekindled (or perhaps inflated?) my enthusiasm for this caper for sure
