Geez, I gotta get a 17" ;-). Excellent pic there Greg, jumps right out, dont see this one too often. Top colour, detail etc.

Yes, the 17" aperture sure allows efficient work at that FL, I wouldnt bother with less than 8 hrs or so at 10" (at long FLs), so that means far less output when it takes 3 days or more of imaging, suddenly stuff like weather, moon etc become far more disruptive.

To be able to get a result like that in one night is a huge advantage and makes it all much more fun.
