Description

Well, I am pleased to say that I have a new camera! It is a ZWO ASI 294pro cooled. I was tempted with a mono camera, but surrendered to this. M13 was first light for this camera, and whilst the clouds rolled in soon enough, this was merely 14 subs at 3 minutes each - an integration time of 42 minutes, at -15C. I hope you will feel that this is quite good detail for such a short imaging time. I have some issues with the flats and I need to work on the darks a bit for the amp glow that comes with these cameras, but I am gradually getting used to things. Thanks everyone. Simon
