the SHO one looks way more colorful in pixinsight, i increased the saturation here
still not even close to what i can see in pixinsight

I guess pix is showing higher bit depth, deeper colors possibly?
If your monitors decent the 32 bit view in pix would likely show richer colors.

Btw is the mount a recent upgrade? I remember you having a cem120

i had two (cem70 and cem120) sold the cem70 and bought the trident
good upgrade for a bit more than 1k
the trident is on the cem120 class but much cheaper

in my case i need to optimize the ra motor steps, as far as i understand can improve guiding by 2x which would bring it in the same ballpark at the 120
i dont know if i was particularly lucky with my 120 but it's a beast, been guiding at around 0.3rms with 0.69 arcsec/pixel resolution
with a 40kg payload
