Thanks Martin,

Its actually a habit I picked up from you. With narrowband data I almost always create a HOO, HSO, SHO, OSH and a Foraxx image, then from there I'll try to determine what I like the most about each of them, or which ones I just simply don't like, then I'll post my two or 3 favorites.

I also almost always create a B/W Ha image that I will push MUCH harder to get the most possible contrast out of.

I've been VERY happy with the 120APO, having used it now with an IMX294 colour camera, the ASI1600MM and now the ToupTek 2600MM, with both the 1x flattener and the 0.8x reducer/flattener, I can happily say that it was a fantastic choice.

The only issue I've had with it is its physical lenght on a small harmonic mount and then some tripod collision scares (luckily nothing actually happened, but it was close...)

And obviously, yes... The IMX571... There's no denying that it's an amazing sensor... I can safely say it's been the most impressive sensor I've ever used... Its not the biggest sensor I've used, certainly not the most expensive camera I ever used either... But what it produces is absolutely GOLD. I just need my processing skill to catch up to the quality of the raw data I'm getting!
