Great work.

Thanks Greg,
Appreciate your nice comments
My set up is an all rounder ( except wide field ) using the 8” and my 2600MC APS- C sensor size with 3.76 pixel size
1000mm focal length
0.80 arc sec per pixel image scale
Allows me to get in fairly close, use a bit of software binning in Startools due to being oversampled and end up with reasonable detail in the dimmer galaxies
However at 1000mm there is a limit on what galaxies I choose and like everything the quality of the atmospheric conditions governs the result
As far as amount of data required , this 2600MC amazes me every time I use it
Brilliant camera
Cheers
Martin
