First light - test shots QHY9 mono.

I tried out my new QHY9 camera last night.
I had all sorts of problems & wasn't able to get
Maxim DL to guide but I did get some test shots
with a Bahtinov mask & one 60 second shot of luminance.
At least I got the camera & filter wheel working &
by moving the primary mirror up 13mm I had 9mm of spare back focus.

Here is a combined pic with a Bahtinov mask using LRGB.
The filters are no name but parfocal.
This was without changing the focus.
The star is Alpha Centauri.
