Eta carina with new QHY600

A test run of 27x 1min Lum exposure under near full moon proved to be a promising start. But as Peter ward and others mentioned in their reviews, the back focus mentioned in the QHY documentation is most likely not 100%. I will have to do a bit of trial and error to figure out the actual required back focus. With 2.5mm of tolerance with my flattener I could still see some room to adjust my adapter length.

For initial test, I have settled on
readout mode: high gain
gain: 0
offset: 30
