Description

First night testing an old Starlight Xpress SXVR-H9 monochrome CCD (from 2009). 

It was my first time shooting with a astro camera, first time shooting monochrome with filters. It was hazy, cloudy and damp. With only 1 dew heater (on the main scope), the guide-scope got dew and lost tracking. Red channel was sharp and crisp, blue and green were blurry. No field flattener.

Captured with kstars EKOS. Processing done with Siril.

I am super happy given that this image only includes 12x100s lights. It has much more color than my previous Andromeda capture (with Canon 6D and a light pollution filter)
