Description

A friend of mine Matt Dieterich graciously sent over this data to me to mess around with, here was the result! Special thanks to @mattdieterich and @observatorioelsauce @planewaveinstruments for making this image possible!

PlaneWave CDK600 (CDK24 with the L-600 mount) and FLI Proline 16803 were to capture the data.

As most of you know though, I just recently uploaded my own version of this target taken with the TOA-150 with Deep Sky West, and I must say- that sucker has really surprised me. Revision B is a comparison between the two images. While the 24" is slightly sharper, I think most people would be hard pressed to find that much benefit over a 6" telescope. Besides, I'd rather the larger FOV with the same amount of sharpness
