Description

I picked up a proper mono imaging camera, as previously I just had my 8 bit guide cam. This is a first light with the ASI 290MM. Initial impression is that there are excellent details and the full-res framerate with USB 3 was just awesome! 1,000 frames ripped off in no time!

There appears to be a substantial amount of ampglow, (I assume that is what the brightness I am seeing along 1/3 left side of the frame in the RAW files). I need to do a little more shooting and perhaps some image calibration to resolve this. Still learning how to fine tune focus and tuning with the new scope. Another possibility is that this is just imperfect pressure tuning on my part. I did not have much time with reasonable seeing in between clouds to get a great feel for what exactly was going on.

Two image mosaic, 30frames per.
