finally arrived just yesterday new ASI071MC pro
I did some darks in a darkened room and managed to get it up and running on the Espirit 100ED and even grabbed a little over an hour of 3min lights.
No idea what settings to use so just went "unity" (90) and default offset of 65. I cooled to -5deg (doesn't seem to be much noise benefit on curves below that) and made sure anti=dew was "on"
seemed to work Ok at 3min and my bortle 6 suburban sky. Oh and this was with the L Enhance 2in filter.
while my smaller ASI533 is meant to be more sensitive I think the larger pixels here more than make up. Colours of stars in particular are much more defined and I think lower noise.
the FOV is massive... with the 533 I can barely fit the Lagoon but here it and the triffid.
while the Espirit is meant to be good for Full Frame and this is APS-C I do notice some small deformation at the corners. Backfocus looks to be theoretically spot on 55mm + 0.7 for the filter but I may need to tweak for reality ... I wish I could remember which way when deformation is not toward the corners but 90deg to it.
Any advice, tips etc with this camera and settings are appreciated.
