For those curious about the new cams - here's a first light for my ASI1600 mono-cooled from last Wednesday night. Very pleased with first efforts, though for some reason my TSX guiding sucked, maybe the target was getting too low on the horizon.
This is a major milestone for me, as it is my first ever full LRGB image from my own cam (been practicing along the way with other data, e.g. Hubble).
Had some weird black pixels on the images even after calibration, had to use Pixinsight's Cosmetic Correction to fix, so another learning there.
This is the grand total of FIVE exposures of TEN (10) seconds for each of the four filters. Not bad sensitivity eh? Unity Gain at 139, taken with the Tak E-130D from my backyard.
I have another set of 40 second shots to process, then plenty of Ha and a couple of SII, ran out of time unfortunately.
