that last few percent
This thread is almost going in circles.
Alex's argument reminds me of an old gag...guy goes to a tailor and is fitted with the worst cut suit ever. Goes back to the tailor, who gets him to contort something like Quazimodo to make the suit fit. Guy leaves the tailor shop. Couple sees this poor bugger limping down the street, "Oh look at that poor cripple she says". " Yes he replies, but sure is a nice suit!"
Images that show elongated stars, noise, weird colour, and poor saturation might give some people a warm and fuzzy feeling (and hey this is good) but can be a little ho-hum for those wanting to push the envelope.
And it gets harder to avoid all of the above as you extend the focal length.
Deep Sky Imaging at 3000+ mm is downright demanding. But so far I haven't found a $1299 system that cuts the mustard...but am always on the lookout for excellent work that makes the suit fit.
Cheers
