Not to rub it in but my CDK17 with a .66X reducer got similar detail in under 5 hours!

But its an interesting exercise to know what the effect of aperture is on overall exposure time.

Thank you Greg. Is this the image you are taking about? I can quite easily see much more faint detail in the image taken with my guide scope
