first light ASI183mm Pro camera

I thought I would enter the CMOS camera game.

I used to have a Starlight Express Trius 694 I used for galaxies and smaller nebs.

Some of these latest CMOS cameras have even higher QE (84%) and extremely low read noise.

I was unable to get it to run in the Sky X (and I can't login to their site to get the latest downloads - is this because they have changed to an Adobe style regular payment?).

But the ASI software worked so it was awkward but I got a good amount of data in luminance. Colour tonight.

40 x 10mins (long exposure for these types of cameras) 1x1 binning medium gain.

Focusing on the small pixels was quite different to focusing on 9micron pixels. This camera has tiny 2.4 micron pixels. I am going for max resolution and counting on the high QE to offset any drop in sensitivity by doing so. Seeing was better than average.

I want to exploit the superb optics of the AP RHA more than I have.
