With this much integration time, you should already be aiming for the Milky Way.

It's outside this field. Besides, the oxygen here is only 12 hours; we need at least 30-40.

You can still be the first to capture it in the Russian-speaking internet, I think none of our folks have tried to bring it out yet.

With our weather, I won't be able to capture the galaxy itself decently this year anymore—that'll have to wait until next. And here I need to make a mosaic. Nah, that's a task for a collective effort; it's pointless for one person alone.

I'm ready to take part in this endeavor if needed.

StarDiver also has a 151 PHQ with a reducer, but I'm not sure about the sensor size—whether it's full-frame or not.

I'm all for it, and nothing could be simpler. We'll shoot Andromeda, collect about 150 hours of data, and make a master stack of the raw files.
