First light QHY9, sort of.......

[E_ri_k]

Wow, this was probably one of the worst imaging sessions for me, ever! After receiving the QHY9 I got sick, and the weather started to turn (Typical). I was feeling a bit better on the weekend, and it was pretty clear. Probably should have left it, but after setting up the flu'y, gastro feeling returned!

Still, I managed 1x300 second L sub before having to head back inside:P
I think it looks pretty promising, despite being poorly framed, and a tad out of focus I think.....

Anyway, nothing great, but I think good things will come out of it.

That's a promising start. Look after yourself, Erik!

Nice shot Erik. Great choice of target I might add. :thumbsup:

Cheers Marc, nice big and bright :) Will revisit it properly to do it justice when the conditions improve.


Thanks Rick, I will :)

Erik,

Great shot with a wealth of detail, I have just got my mount to do guiding that length of time without drift and thus I have out grown my old DSI Pro. I am seriously looking at the QHY cameras as an upgrade, how do you find them to use.

I feel some of your pain with illness, as it has been a terrible year for bugs, I hope you are recovering well.

You're a tough dude. After all that you still went out and imaged. Good result and I agree its a very promising image.

Yes, certainly looks ok to me.

Ah yes, I remember imaging (outside) last year, in the middle of winter, while very sick with the flu :screwy:

Bah! Imaging while sick = a real astroimager :thumbsup::lol:

Thanks Justin. Good to hear with your success :) I haven't had any real problems with the QHY's at all. I haven't used any other brand, so I can't compare them to anything, but I'm very happy with them :)

Thanks Greg. Probably a dumb move, but I was desperate haha!

Haha, thanks Mike. Don't know what I was thinking, I felt terrible :lol: Dedication...that must be it:P

Thank's, haha. My wife thought I was crazy, she was probably right though :lol:
