StarlightXpress SXVR_H16 First Light

Despite a rocky start, this camera has turned out pretty well. It is an unusual chip - a 15mm square sensor of 7.m micron pixels for a 4 MP total. It was operating at an image scale of 1.94 as/p which is not exactly what I had wanted when I started looking at these SXVR cameras. I had originally wanted to use their H18 camera - an 8300 clone. But the two cameras supplied were just not good enough - both showing serious RBI and one with major trouble with it's shutter. So the H16 was actaully a compromise but I'm not unhappy with the results.
Here's IC2948 in Ha. 9 x 5 minute subs.
