Well, its been like 8 months ''there about's'' since I last used the QHY10 for the 1st time - still unfamiliar with things as expected. Buggared up something as all of my files seem to be only in B/W :rofl: Arrg-well, no can do about it now..
This was also my 1st experience with a newly purchased Orion, Thin Off Axis Guider, which took a couple times to get focus with stars equal with cameras by adding shimmies, this was done after aproximating focus on a distant Building earlier in the week.

Image Stats : 14 x 10min / 2hr 20m. no darks or bias etc !
Camera/s : QHY10 OSC, set at -35 running at 50% & The good ol Starshooter guider
Mount : Neq6p ...

Got some nice detail Bob!:thumbsup:

Good to see you back on the imaging horse.:)
Hope to see more from your setup.

Cheers,

Ahh! So that's how it's done?

Looks good Bob, nice and sharp. Maybe just a little black point clipped, but I am viewing this on my iPad and that tends to look a little darker generally.

[strongmanmike]

Well Bobby, for an uncalibrated image it looks pretty good with some good detail showing up, nice work...only negative - juuust watch that selective brightening :whistle: which looks to have given the three galaxies unnatural looking halos ;)

Welcome back :hi:

Hey Thank you all very much for the kind words and comments fellow's !

I have enjoyed processing the QHY10's data, which interestingly seems need of a different touch/style than the DSLR's CMos chip.
More than I can handle properly atm ? Practice is key, time is of the essence ?
BTW, I have managed to sought out why only B/W, Registax doesnt seem to debayer the OSC Fitts data ..
Cheers and appreciate all your inputs :thumbsup:

[astronobob]

He he, busted :P was wondering when the unnatural halos were found out :innocent:

[cybereye]

Bob,

Probably better to use Deep Sky Stacker rather than Registax as it will debayer the data nicely... with the right parameters of course! It also takes a lot of the drama out of applying Darks, Flats and Flat Darks.... or is that Dark Flats? :question:

Cheers,
Mario

[astronobob]

Cheers Mario, thats exactly what I found out, yep, DSS takes the Fitts straight up and debayers them whilst stacking, I have now a proccessed color version, but yeah, need to repro, cause I still stuffed up the over areas of galaxy glow :P
Actually have to maybe start working out how to do this 'so called' Calibrated Image :question: Might start up a thread in Processing section :thumbsup:
Appreaciate your info Mario, thanx champ :thumbsup:

[astronobob]

Thought to Repro this Data without looking at my previous (9months ago) color attempt - A huge difference in the final, I think this looks better natural, tho might need more levels streaching in the background ?
1st is Recent
2nd was 9 months ago

Nothing wrong with that Bob, great job & well done :)
