Description

We finally got a break in the weather so I was able to get a quick first time test image using the QHYCCD 268M with the RC-10. My last time imaging with the RC-10 was before I had the QHYCCD 268M.  The larger less noisy chip was welcomed during the framing and processing of the image. This image is RGB with just under 3 hours. I would have liked to have had the time to shoot Lum but I shot this while the Moon was up so I could shoot Lum after the Moon set  for a galaxy image I'm working on.
