Description

A nice first test of a new camera, a QHY200M.

The most interesting features are an improved sensitivity in IR and a lower readout noise
The IR sensitivity allowed me to try a color image using the visible light as a Blue layer, and the IR light as a Red layer. However, the framing was wrong so it's a very cropped version ( see image B )

Night was okay-ish, but i got very few time in total. Still, the sensivity boost is impressive in my opinion, and the little readout noise and bigger pixels allows me to do 500ms exposures with no loss basically.
Only thing i'm concerned about is the fact that my field correction might be bad in the IR spectrum. But i need further tests to be certain about it.

10557 x 500ms ( 1h28' total ) out of 2h30 of total exposures.
FWHM on final stack is about 1.65"
