First Light: Atik Infinity Colour
Finally managed to have a go at using this little bit of gear that has been sitting in a box for 2 months. We had a partially clear night so a chance to give it a try and make sure it works (it does!), I can get focus (I can), if I can understand the software (I did!) and if the results are worth it (they were).
After working out focus I pointed my scope towards M20 and set the camera to take 10s exposures and sure enough I had colours after 30s and the image was quite bright and clear. The software was quite intuitive to use even without reading the manual (tomorrows job!) and all round very pleased. Will write up a more complete report tomorrow especially if I can get some decent skies!!
