Description

Even though the focal length of my system is only 600mm, the very small 2.315µm pixels on the QHY294M in its native 1x1 binning mode combined with DRIZZLE processing allow me to sample at a resolution that was simply impossible with past sensors (besides some smaller format planetary cameras). It took a lot of fine tuning to get my collimation, focus and tracking dialled-in well enough to truly take advantage of the QHY294M's native binning mode but I can now image at the absolute limit of what my local seeing conditions allow without the need for a longer focal length scope.
