2nd light. Just a quicky

A single 120second file of Eta Carinae taken with the QHY9.

Captured with Nebulosity2 and QHY9 running at -20degrees C
Takahashi FS102 at F8

This image came out a lot better than I had expected. Some hot/bright pixels but no calibration carried out, just a stretch using CS3

That's pretty damn good for a 2min pic...this camera is going to turn out some great stuff by the looks of it:)

What brand of filters are you looking at getting??

Thats a good start for 120 secs Doug. Welcome to the mono world.

Looks very promising Doug!

I am very happy with the initial results with the QHY9 in mono. The proof will be when I arrange a set of filters and learn the processing required.
At this stage I am just getting a feel for the camera as it's operation and settings which are a little different from the QHY8 with a much higher pixel count, smaller pixels and a much more sensitive image sensor with a cooling system which has a cooling delta of 50 degrees below ambient. - 20 deg is easily maintained with ambients in the obsevatory up to 25 degrees.
