Have to agree with that the quality of an image is always in the eye of the beholder. I have seen people stack ridiculous amounts of hourly data where very little improvement has been gained over what can be achieved by expert processing of half the data. To me I can see no real benefit in 50hrs of data over say 12 or less depending of the scope and target. I think there is a law of diminishing return that applies to data requirement for a superb image, likewise with good processing superb images can be gleaned from limited data.

Oh wow, this is fantastic. You must be so pleased Mike. All that effort with the new observatory is now paying off with a magnificent result. Looking forward to seeing what photons you capture next.
