[Jon (Jonathan)]

So I got my new toy the other day - an Atik 383 L+ and a filter wheel plus filters. I set everything up on the only clear day this week - Wednesday. But of course the clouds rolled in, so I only had an hour of imaging time. Focusing was a learning curve, and as you see I didn't get it quite right yet. I managed to get my filters in the wrong slots - thus ended up with 10 x 2m R unbinned, 6x1m G, 6x1m B binned 2x2, instead of my intended 20L, 666 RGB. Finally, my lightbox had an issue and I couldn't get flats.

But, I nevertheless captured my first LRGB image, using the unbinned red data as luminance as well.

Just loving the cooled chip after a year with an uncooled DSLR. I'm going after some galaxies when the clouds clear :-)
