Great stuff Dean- yeah I’ve come to the same conclusion from the suburbs in Sydney. As much as I still crave a view through the eyepieces I tend to go EAA unless I’m somewhere dark. Opens up a whole new realm of possibilities when you’re livestacking! I often use a guided GEM for eaa as well (even though shorter exposures are quite acceptable on an alt-az) and when using a GEM I’ve found that increasing the individual sub lengths can expand the reach of the camera even more (as in, 5x 1min subs can sometimes reveal more than 10x 30sec subs) especially for the fainter stuff. I also find playing with the live histogram stretch is also a lot of fun, teasing out detail in the darker and brighter areas back and forth in real time.
Thanks for posting!
