Thanks guys, I'm actually really enjoying all the different approaches to this project. I guess at the moment I'm mostly imaging larger targets like M42 and the region around Alnitak. But I'm starting to chase galaxies, NGC253 got me hooked on galaxies and I've been looking through the Formax group (without much luck) for a few weeks.

I do enjoy the wider fov of the 1000mm and I was worried about going to 1200 or 1500mm. The extra aperture of the 12" is tempting but lately I've been thinking the 10" f/4 might be a better imaging scale...? Although M42 and M45 are probably the only DSO that won't fit in a 1200mm fov so it's not really a big problem, hmm, decisions decisions.
