Here is a quick first light with my Explore Scientific N208CF imaging newt with my Atik 460. (Cooled to -20) This is RGB only - 10 subs of each color, 2 min each, binned 2x2. 1 hour total integration.That gives me an image scale of around 2.34"/pixel - what I learned here is that I'd need to do some Lum at 1x1 to really look good. When I zoom in on these stars, I find that they look a little blocky. Looks like I got the spacing with the Explore Scientific coma corrector correct, stars at the edge look OK. My guiding was AWFUL last night, so I'm amazed the stars aren't egg shaped. Combined in Pixinsight, bias frames only, needed to apply Morphological transformation to reduce the number of background stars. For a quickie experiment - I'm happy with it, but still lots to learn and fix here.
