Great examples above, thank you. You can also easily have the advantages of RAW without post processing by opening the manufacturer's free software (NX Studio, View-NX-I/Canon DPP4) and export or output to TIFF, or whichever is your preferred format. The photo will be rendered using your in-camera picture control settings. So, in the end, you don't lose THAT capability (to control your exposure options) and you retain the simplicity, as well as the ability to further do SOME enhancements. There is no need for one versus the other. JPEG is simply a step-down from the original captured data and is only useful to email/post to sites that impose limitations on size and format.

Please reread post before being snarky, she said $350.ish ?.
Do you know what "?" means. I believe she is open to higher or lower prices if it fits with what she is looking for.
Do you know what "ish" means, I believe she again is open to alternatives.
And lastly, I was only being helpful trying to point her in the right direction. You have become very mean lately.
Have a great day, I will.

Yes.

I agree. My bag easily accommodates a 10-20mm, a 35mm prime and an 18-200mm.

I have the AF-S DX Nkr 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6G ED VR II and it is very sharp, versatile and available now at a great price.

Excellent detail. Well done.
Question - Re: "I also used Dark frames, Bias frames and Flat frames for each filter.". I understand why you would need Flats for each filter. But why Darks and Bias frames, since the scope is covered or the shutter closed?
Also, since all of your exposures are the same (5 min.) you really don't need separate bias frames. The Bias signal is included in the Dark frame. Bias frames are needed when you have different exposure times and need to scale your Dark frames.
Just trying to save you some time and effort.
Again, beautiful.

I use Davinci Resolve 16. Does everything and free. Tank some learning but many many tutorials for it
I've downloaded version 17 (now available) and will take it for a spin.
Thanks for you recommendation.

The term apochromatic is applied to an optic that brings 3 different wavelengths of light (colors) to the same focus as opposed to only 2 wavelengths for achromatic optics. With this design approach, the focus vs. wavelength plot can bed made nearly flat across the visible range of colors, thereby reducing chromatic aberration to a minimum. This result is something that is not possible with an achromatic design.
Give this man a cigar. In astronomy, an APO is an apochromatic telescope.

Maybe we should stop calling it "crop" factor and use instead the term "zoom" factor, if anything at all.

We keep using the term "equivalent". But what may be going unsaid is, equivalent to what? (Sure, the math proves it but may not get the point across very well.)
The short answer is, equivalent to a 35mm frame. But, what's the point to comparing to something from the past?
Another perspective that helped me understand "crop factor" (and promptly forget about it) is to simply imagine an image on a sensor being projected onto either a screen of printed piece of paper of a given size. The smaller sensor's image must be stretched, or expanded to fill the final field of view, in effect zooming into the subject area. And, in the end, sacrificing some amount of resolution. But, again, when compared to a 35mm frame.
So, I am quite content with my DX format Nikon D7500. If I want more FOV, I just use a shorter lens.

Anybody use Luminar for photo editing. Is it worth the investment.
I think you would be best served by taking advantage of the trial period to see what you think and how well it works for you. There are many different opinions regarding LuminarAI but you be the judge.
I happen to like it.
