Description

I received my ASI6200MM with ZWO's 7 position 2" EFW this week. After some cable management on Tuesday I was able to get 25 minutes each of LRGB data on Wednesday. Everything worked right out of the box. This is my first dedicated astro camera and the first time I have dealt with monochrome. Considering the poor seeing conditions last night and partial cloud cover in most RGB subs, the moon, my inexperience with the dedicated cameras, not taking flats yet, and the limited data, I have to say I am amazed at the results. Since I need to learn how to take flats with this camera still, I cropped it to the center ~25% of the image to hide the vignetting.

I can't wait for more clear skies to really see what this camera can do!
