Hyperstar - Has It's Limits

Hi,

A beginner with imaging.

Just wanted to set my thoughts down re HS. I purchased this say 2 months ago, and the images straight off the bat, are really impressive.

I've seen people talk about HS, imaging M31 etc, but that's a very wide field object, just like a lot of neb's.

HS has it's limitations, you want those small galaxies, it won't cut it.

I see HS as a good introduction to those pretty pictures, especially with an ALT/AZ as the exposure times are much smaller. Want those nice galaxies,
then F/6.3, longer exposures, EQ, and guide. Now have my guide scope, the extensions I needed for my ASI294MC - and of course, cloud. I can't see HS giving you those shots of galaxies, at F/2

Agree ?

Cheers,
Lance
