QHY600 - First light

This is first image of my QHY600. I got the camera four days ago and still waiting for the filters. I figured I should test it while waiting on it. I have been testing gain, readnoise , full well etc.

The camera is connected with its FW3 (without any filters) and OAG and is connected to the scope using compression rings. There is a tilt due to the compression ring that I need to resolve.

This one is shot with

Readout mode 0 - Photographic mode

Gain - 26, Offset 10, Temp - -5C

Filter - None

Calibration: 3 minute darks (No bias) and Flats.

Subs - 47 x 3 minute lights

The camera seems to be a winner , Extremely clean subs without any artifacts.

For this, I did DBE, Deconvolution, stretch and curves. No noise reduction was applied.

I randomly picked NGC688 to test because it was well situated and I was expecting bad gradients (neighbors bright backyard lights were on) . The run got stopped by clouds but I did get 47 subs out of it.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
