Hi guys,

Got to try out my new ASI120MM camera this morning. Most of Melbourne appeared to be fogged out this morning but the fog stayed south of the CBD and it was as good as it gets in Brunswick 5.5 kms North of the CBD where I had conditions which were close to as good as they get for a city of 3 million people.

The camera was cranked up to 111fps by keeping the exposure levels down to about 50% of the histogram (red channel), so despite being noisy, was able to get between 1000 to 2000 frames per channel - I ran out of time and was too excited to do another comparison with the Skynix and the IR channel due to the deteriorating seeing did not deliver any benefits.

Was able to get Firecapture working with my filter wheel which was nice.

Have some issues to address on the colour balance front in understanding how the camera performs with my filters so over the next week will address this and the attached image is very Green indeed!

Nice small cloud feature over Elysium visible.

Hope others got out there.
