Description

This is my first serious project with the new CMOS camera QHY600M with total 28 hours of exposure time between 4/9 and 4/16/2021.

With 2X2 binning on LRGB channels, the image scale is about 0.76"/pixel. The local seeing ranges between 1-2 arc seconds over these nights, and the RMS guiding errors is about 0.8" with my old faithful AP 900GTO and PEC on. My imaging configuration is a bit oversampled. 3X3bining would be more ideal, but the option is not available. Overall I am quite pleased with this camera. The noise level is very low and the sub frames are very clean.
