I still love how those stars are so sharp and round right to the edges. It would be devastating under a very dark sky with many hours of exposure. Think of all those extreemly low surface brightness tidal streams around galaxies waiting to be captured

Scott, yes I am hoping when we move back to Canberra I will be able to really let the throttle out on this scope. To date going for faint galactic cirrus and the like has not been considered worthwhile given my heavy light pollution, not to mention garbage seeing, it would probably still show some up but the processing required to make it look half decent would undoutedly introduce a less than pristene look to the final image - nothing beats dark skies
Hence my current almost exclusive use of emission line filters.
