You are certainly in a unique location to image and expose these tiny faint celestial wonders
Keep em coming !!

Thanks Martone A longer FL scope, like, saaay, a 16" F9 RC or similar (well collimated and without astigmatism ), with my FLI16803 camera attached, would give 0.50"/pix and be great for smaller things like galaxies and PN's buuut that isn't likely to happen any time soon , sooo, I'm looking to maybe get some smaller pixels under those photons, through the same scope setup, without losing any FOV or speed, to see if I can take better advantage of the conditions for such objects

In the mean time, I'm happy with the general results I'm able to get up there

Mike
