You could frame it up and down and save my neck a bit. I'm getting older you know.
Yes, 7nm sure lets in more photons, and goes deeper, but slightly less Ha detail. 3nm subs are noisier too. there are annoying trade offs either way.

John.
There are some subs from an earlier LX200 12" effort thrown in to reduce noise. Those subs were not as sharp, but had more signal. I was kidding about the stars BTW, I healed them out . Ill do this again with more RCOS data, much sharper, but its a bit of a "done that" sort of object so only when theres nothing else to image in my limited sky view.

Thanks Jase, removing stars is BS, but I get away with it ....... sometimes .
