Alex I was referring to the light gathering power of the ED80 and the wide FOV, sure you can capture MAG20 objects but these require long exposure times and mulitple stacked images but you still end up with limited detail

As an example attached is the Hubble image of the same object

I not negating the time and effort taken too capture the image.
