ZWO ASI1600MM Pro Cooled 1st Light – Nereid (m 18.7 moon of Neptune) and our Moon

On Oct 3rd despite some very hazy Brisbane skies, I managed to record the trace of Nereid in the Mewlon 210 at F9.2 using 60 x 60 sec exposures using The Sky X Pro to image and autoguide. I believe that the default settings in The Sky X Pro for the ASI1600MM are Offset=10 and Gain=75.

The next evening, I swapped out the Tak x0.8 Reducer and fitted the Tak x1.6 Extender (efl=3864mm) and grabbed 1000 frames of our Moon in Firecapture, this time at a Gain of 220.

Such a versatile camera.

Cheers

Dennis
