Description

3rd test image from Deep Sky West (DSW). We've been working on system integration and taking a few test images as the opportunity arises. This image is only 12x900 which makes background noise control a bit difficult. The main issue for me is that I tried this image from my suburban Atlanta backyard more than one time. I must be a slow learner because this is very difficult with moderate light pollution.

I'm pleased to see that from DSW I could hammer away on this target and get a really wonderful result (perhaps a 2-panel LRGB mosaic with this camera). Stay tuned...more to come....
