You beat me to it Yeap, ST7 - wishing it were an ST8. (bigger guide chip if nothing else!)

The stuff I typically enjoy doing most is finding faint galaxy clusters and the like. Seeing what I can get out of mag 16 - mag 20 objects. But, while I say typically, I haven't done much for months, so ya know, these things come and go.

It is fun to do some brighter colour stuff now and then.

Focal length is a curse and a blessing. It obviously makes tracking and image quality somewhat of a challenge, but when things work, I just love the scale, getting those tiny faint galaxies to have some shape
