Altair Astro RC6

[Thalestris24]

On reflection (sic), I think I have to stop dreaming, wake up, and smell the coffee! I'm probably better off just going faster on my 80mm, maybe with a 178mc-cool. Time to forget the dim and distant objects, sigh.

Thanks everyone for the advice and input - much appreciated

Might have been the pixel scale - sub 1"/pixel ? A different camera might have been better? I don't get the imaging time/opportunities to do lrgb so I'd probably use an osc - maybe my qhy8l.

When I'm using my RC6 I use 2x2 binning on my SX694. I don't want to cope with 0.7 image scale, my mount isn't up to it. Binned I'm on 1.4 approx which is my usual imaging scale on that camera. Speeds things up too.
