Description

After being into Astro Photography for about 2 years, (G2 8300 camera since October 2019)

this is my first CMOS image, thus also First Light of my new Camera QHY268M.

Given the many clouds and the light pollution in the Flanders region, this picture has a limited integration time of about 5.5 hours.

Of which about 4 hours RGB and 1.5 hour Luminance.

I'm amazed by what this camera brings with such a limited exposure and in a bortle 5.

The resolution is great, it's the first time I can see the details in NGC3077 (left top)

The flatness of the raw image is unbelievable, and absolutely no AmpGlow.

Filters are Astronomik Deep-Sky RGB and CLS-CCD.
