Description

First light with RedCat 51. I lucked out with clear 3 nights and decided to go nuts on NGC1499 with SHO data collection. I was able to collect alot of data unfortunately, due to a nasty dust mite , I had to let go of half of my OIII data, and due to bad dithering (new to SGP) I had some walking noise on my SII data. Anyways, learned some lessons and got some good first time data with the RedCat. I also seem to have some pattern noise despite BIAS I seem to have been unable to get rid of.

I'm EXTREMELY impressed with the sharp stars edge to edge on this little thing, and seems like ASI1600MM is a good fit for it.
