I'm with ya. I'm going for the deep stuff this winter. Using a 12" RC with a ZWO ASI 1600MM-C camera with a 2x extender added in the imaging train. On my scope it gives me a focal length of4680mm and a focal ratio of f15.6.

That’s right. In fact there are several galaxies in the photo. Just look for the little blobs.
