I have taken some test shots with the debayered sensor (now cleaned as best I can). Because I don't have the cover glass replacement for it yet, I decided to turn the cooling off and just take these at ambient. Because they are taken through my RC08 (f8) I had to run fairly long sub times and shoot at ISO1600 (hence more noise), and the pesky moon was a factor last night as well, so excuse the quality.

What I was after is to determine if the debayering had worked and that all pixels are functional, and whether there were dead spots that might have been damaged or are masked by something that potentialy could be 'polished off'.

So here are two simple jpg files of well known brighter objects. I over exposed them to see if I could light up everything on the sensor, and being ambient they have some noise.

Let me know what you think of the quality? I won't give you my opinion just yet.
