It’s indeed a very interesting prospect. I’m still skeptical about how “deep” you can go with very short exposures even if stacking 1000s together. This however is only based on my eaa experience and the big difference in depth obtained by for example 10min of 60sec exposures vs 10min of 10sec exposures.
I know there are some calculations to determine the minimum exposures required to overdone sky noise or something like that. I’m guessing that might have something to do with it.
Having said this, for brighter targets it’ll be excellent. I was doing a little project on the homunucleus nebula (nice and bright) and took a variety of exposures with my c14 @3900mm of different lengths from 2min down to 0.5sec. The difference in detail I got in the lobes was huge. I ended up learning I needed exposures under 500ms, and will revisit when Carinas back up. Anything over 2sec was a write-off in comparison. But this is now verging on planetary imaging so none of this should be any surprise.
It’s so hard to do an apples for apples comparison with stuff like this, because even with planetary lucky imaging the seeing and sky transparency changes so much from night to night.
