Does the Optolong L-eXtreme allow for effective imaging at fast focal ratios? I gathered lots of data for this video to help me make a determination. I compared images taken through my Celestron f/2 RASA with my Celestron C8-SCT reduced to f/6.3 on successive evenings with the same settings and integrations to see if the L-eXtreme can handle the speeds. Detailed results and my explanation are given in the video. Can you replicate my results? See my detailed settings for each image below... let me know in the comments, if you give it a try!
