Description

Updated, new revision contains 60 x 60-sec exposures, calibrated with Darks, Bias and Flats.  Aside from the Flats, I'm not even sure the calibration is necessary with this sensor.  This camera is great!  

Check out the old revision if you want to see the uncalibrated 30-second version.

-------------
It almost feels like cheating... First light with my new ASI2600MC-Pro and ZWO FF130 scope.  This is a *single* 30-second exposure, picked at random from the first batch of files while the rest of the image run is still going.  Exactly zero calibration frames and about 5 minutes of processing in PixInsight.  BlurX, NoiseX and StarX before stretching and recombining.

Absolutely blown away by the quality of this camera and the glass.  Can't wait to see how a properly stacked and calibrated target might turn out.
