It cleared a little tonight and I got everything focused. I'd estimate it's twice as sensitive as the original qhy5 but sees maybe 30% less sky. The uncalibrated image is a lot cleaner than the calibrated image from the original. I can see I'll need a rotator on this new scope once I got all the bits set up so I can find a guidestar in the OAG.
Clouds where fickle so I pulled the camera/wheel/oag assembly apart and put the qhy into the filter wheel and tried some avi capture. Images looked very clean but it clouded over again before I got anything I could process up. Maybe next year.
Here is a screen print I grabbed while running the green AVI on this lappy. I cropped the media player crap off the image. I think I might get myself a powermate now
