First Light Everything

First shot from (travel scope) new 8" EDGE HD with Hyperstar and the brand new QHY10 unguided on an EQ6 Pro.

M8_20 4x30secs subs @ F2 stacked in Maxim and compressed to JPEG for web only uncropped no darks flats ect -just a test run.
NGC3372 single 45 sec frame no darks flats ect ect converted from FITs to Jpeg only uncropped.
Trying to get a new scope camera and Hyperstar all working together is real fun not to mention programs and processing:s hrug:.
Still have to fine tune the Hyperstar.
Also need to work out the best balance of setting for exposure, gain, offsets, and number of exposures ect ect ect for the camera.
First few images were well blown out.

Will be picking a lot of brains at Astrofest.

Nice start Mark,

The Edge looks the goods for a nice flat field. Even as a test run the images are quite good. FAST too, these are nice and bright!

Look forward to more (and competing with you - )

Cheers

Chris
