Description

Decided to try doing a high gain capture using CMOS - was pretty surprised how well it turned out. You can see the background is not as clean as I'd like, but it sure pulled in a lot of nice detail on the Pelican.

I normally shoot at Unity gain (100) since I'm under heavy light pollution, but might trying doing a bit more with high gain given these results.
