Thank you for sharing your photos - this is exactly what this project is all about! :-)
This work was done specifically to compare two telescopes on a moderately sized galaxy NGC 5033 (10.7' x 5.3'): the Askar SQA 106 (509 mm f/4.8) and the Celestron Edge HD 8 (1400 mm f/7, using a 0.7x focal reducer). The cameras were different: the Askar used a ZWO ASI 183 MC with 2.4 µm pixels, while the Celestron used a ZWO ASI 2600 MC with 3.76 µm pixels. The total integration time also differed: 3 hours 30 minutes on the Askar and 4 hours 50 minutes on the Celestron. I am not drawing any conclusions — judge for yourself.

It’s been a while since I last shot deep-sky with the good old Celestron Edge HD 8", and I’m already preparing material on the same target from the Askar SQA 10…
