1st'ly, I'd like to thank every IISpacer for making this Forum what it is.
Such a wealth of info on equipment, great images and access to knowledge & I for one would be lost otherwise.
Also, I realise that a 1st time CCD purchase is ancient history to many of you far more advance chaps :thumbsup:
Anywhich: After some months of deliberation between which CCD, on this note, I feel that my puuta skills, time etc can Not justify the purpose of a Mono Camera at this point in time, So today I succumbed to parting of hard earned savings which will be replaced with the QHY-10 OSC , , Thanx to Theo of Gamaelectronics for his help, in particular of where I'm at in astro-photog/ gear etc :thumbsup:
As most know, the 'cooled' QHY-10 is a competative performer, very well known and used by many.
So, bring on the Summer Targets as I will undoubtedly be spending most of Spring becoming familiar with the new Progs and practices !
Below is a mix of emotions, excitement through to confusion as its well known with this small step-up, I'm sure there will be some good results, but only after some herrendous failures
:P :rolleyes: :help: :screwy: :question: :shrug: ;) :thumbsup:
