BabyQ vs FLT110

Weather was closing in and I had time for 90 minutes - so I ran luminance only on these 2 scopes - A BabyQ FSQ85EDX at f5.3 with an SXVR_H16 Astrodon filter on a Titan vs WO FLT110 at f7 with ATIK LE4000 (same sensor as the SX) with Astronomic filter on a G11. Both used OAG with Lodestar or equivalent.
The WO did the Witches Head with 10 min subs and the BabyQ did the Pleides in 5 min subs.
CCD Inspector says the Baby Q is as flat as a tack but the WO has a little tilt but both are well collimated.
The night before I had done some runs on M33 with the same setup but doing full LRGB. The results are iteresting.
I love the BabyQ but am pretty darned happy with the WO as well.
