My first nebula with the new scope. I was surprised that in just 35 minutes I was able to pull out such details, since I used to have huge problems with hydrogen. I’ll keep collecting more data on this nebula.

If your camera has not been astro-modified (the filter has not been removed), it's better not to waste time on emission nebulae. Unless, of course, it's Orion or the Dumbbell, for example. In short, very bright nebulae.

I'm thinking of ordering the Svbony SV220 2" for myself.

Order it. But is the camera astro-modified? Without astro-modification, there's little point.

I literally bought a screwdriver set today that includes PH00, and tomorrow I'll be doing a full spectrum conversion.

So Orion is also just a reflection nebula. That's fine.

Good point. But the Dumbbell is a different matter)

Yes, the Dumbbell Nebula. It's interesting because the oxygen glows strongly. Something like the Veil Nebula also works. So for color imaging, it's interesting to shoot either reflection nebulae or objects where oxygen is intensely emitted.
