First light Lagoon

Got my new rig running last night. A lot of learning for me, pretty much an entirely new experience going from a DSLR with a f5 newt to a mono CCD with an RC8. I had a bit of an issue with the binned colour images showing a tail on the larger stars so I ended up having to do 360sec 1x1 colour shots (I attached a crop of the stars if anyone knows what it is)

Also my first post outside of the beginner forums, be gentle lol

I didn't do any processing other that calibration and image integration. I will have a go at deconvolution and other things when I can get the time

Overall quite happy, I seem to be able to push the guiding a lot harder with this setup. I could only ever get 2mins with the newt. I will be happy when I sort out the binned image issue so I can push up my Luminance times.

19 x 120sec Lum 1x1
4 x 360sec R 1x1
4 x 360sec G 1x1
2 x 360sec B 1x1
