Back when I started, my old Meade ETX-90 couldn't even pick up the Horsehead Nebula.
I finally got a ZWO ASI533MC camera last month and pointed it at Barnard's Loop in Orion, expecting a faint smudge. Instead, the stack revealed this crazy red arc I never saw in any guidebook. It made me realize how much hidden detail modern sensors can pull from light pollution. Has anyone else in a suburban area been surprised by a target you thought was out of reach?

Tried the North America Nebula with a duoband filter and it actually popped out. My old DSLR just showed a gray blob.
