Quicky with QY9.

[mill]

Received my QHY9 yesterday and whacked it on the ED80.
I knew the picture would be crappy because it was cloudy and the seeing was no good.
5x 10 Min HA and 8 darks, no flats.
This is a first light pic :)

Not bad at all for a quicky mate. :thumbsup:

Congrats on first light Martin. Looks pretty damned good to me. The heavens await your onslaught!

[mill]

Thank you Marc and Rob.
The stock focusser on the ED80 hold up very well with the weight of the camera and filter wheel.
Hope to do some color pictures this weekend :)

Marty just imagine how good it'll be when you do it slow

[mill]

Trevor, slow is for old people :P
Nah this was just to see if it all worked and routing the cables etc.
Even the focus is a bit soft.

Nice image there esp compared to your 100 min version in colour :)
Can't wait to see your new colour version with the new camera :)

[telecasterguru]

[mill]

Thank you Frank.



Thank you Doug :)
I am extatic, it is my precious (in the lord of the rings voice :P ).



Thank you Daniel, it is now the time to practice for Snake Valley :)

[Hagar]

Dont pull this one apart and modify it.

[Exfso]

Good stuff Martin, what filters came with it?

[mill]

Ooops!!!! Too Late :P



Peter it comes with LRGB filters, and it looks like they are good quality.

[desler]

Really impressive start Martin.

Remember, no screwdrivers / wire cutters or any other tool like object is aloud within three feet of what I expect is a beautiful camera.

Shots I have seen so far with this camera and or chip look very good. Yours is very good for a quick test. Can't wait to get one myself. Are the filters parfocal?:question:

[CoolhandJo]

Nice Ha image and first light. What nm is your Ha filter?

[mill]

Thank you Darren :)
Had to open the filter wheel to put the filters in :(
Now i have to file a bit of off the HA filter :wink2:
It just fouls the filter holder.



As far as i know, yes they are parfocal.
The camera feels and looks very sturdy.



Thank you Jo.
The HA filter is 15nm

[Mighty_oz]

Before u do that try putting it in onto the back of the filter holder/wheel, had the same prob with my baader's and it worked.

[alan meehan]

Luckely the money did go thru the second time :)
