Morning, nice object for this pier

Most big stuff like this P5 will eat for breakfast :)
I cannot wait until Spring season settles and we see how this new chip works with F/2.8, I feel the brighter objects will not need many hours of data to get a proper data set. 6um pixels can really pick up a lot of data on a fast scope in a short order.

For me 5-9um depending on focal length is the ideal pixel size for most setups, as good as modern computer designed optics are, they simply struggle with the spot size to deliver performance across the whole field with some of the new tiny multi mega pixel cameras that are on the market now :(

I will ask Mike if he can re submit his Antares mosaic at some stage also

Antares was going to be on my list as it is a superb target. If someone else is already on it, let's go!
