Description

I continue to be impressed at what is possible with these IMX571 cameras. This certainly isn't my best image: There's no astro darkness here currently (but hey, at Bortle 6, the difference is negligible anyway to nautical night). This was a quick shot while optimising my flight-mobile rig: Sensor/corrector distance has to be decreased a bit. And I had forgot to set the correct gain for the Risingcam (that's why the stars are a bit burned out).

But still, it's an emission nebula in RGB that shows detail in under half an hour with a small-aperture scope. Amazing.
