I landed at f5.6 before I was happy and figured that I would rather go with longer integration times for the benefit of a better looking star field. I still find that I need to apply a small amount of BlurXterminator in Pixinsight to help tidy up the field during post processing.
Ah yes indeed,, retaining all the 14mm captures, wide angle with a flat horizon too.
