Description

Finally got some clear sky to test the QHY183M. Whenever I get new gear, my go to object, no pun intended, is the Double Cluster. It is a good test for star colour, focus and field flatness. I think I managed to get all three of the criteria here. The moon was bright and I was dodging clouds but I managed to get 10 subs per filter, enough to produce an image. Imaging with a CMOS is a different world than a CCD, still lots to learn but that is all part of the challenge of AP. I think I am going to like this camera! Thanks for looking.
