Description

First light with a ZWO ASI1600MM-Cool V3.

Yes I am impressed (35min) with the ASI1600MM version, but also impressed what the ZWO ASI071MC-Pro can do with an Ha filter, although 120min in the making.

I made an attempt to make the contrast the same as in https://astrob.in/8psqeh/C/ (first light with Epsilon 130D and ZWOASI071) to get a better feel of the two.

- As is uncropped, standard autostretch in PixInsight

- As is uncropped, but with some added contrast

- Comparison between the two: ZWO ASI1600MM-Cool (V3) and ZWO ASI071MC-Pro

--- Be aware ---

If you compare stuff than be aware, as I learned from Victor (https://www.astrobin.com/users/VicV/) this week, that my backfocus is off (see the split spikes left upper corner) in this setup with the ASI1600 and also my focus wasn't optimal yet... Grrr, but, so you know ;-)
