Very nice.

Nice indeed! I've got a very similar setup so it gives me something to aim for :)

Btw, do you see an increase in sensitivity in binned mode? And what was your frame rate?

[johnnyt123]

Yeh. More sensitive when binned.
I believe I had it as 100% gain, 80ms exposure and 1.3 gamma.
It's so dim with 5xpowermate.

I don't know why it's Got a yellow tinge to it though..

Let me know how you go.
