Agreed...For long FL/big scope imaging I don't think CMOS is there yet.

Ta Andy. I hear you...not another M8!!!
...but my "serious" quarry needed to gain some altitude,
hence the "quickie" M8 seemed like a good idea....then some strato-cumulus rolled in.

That said...3400mm M *any number" objects are not that common.....they are often very interesting up close and personal....
So much is missed at 1000mm or so.
