What filters etc did you use Rob?

Hi Peter - it was a one shot colour (QHY247C) - which I was extremely fortunate to make off with from the Astrofest 2022 raffle
(super thanks to Testar for supporting AF too!). Its been interesting comparing it against the trusty old QHY9 - smaller pixels is nice on the Tak, it does seem bit easier to get nice star colour balance, very similar sensitivity (larger %QE on the more modern sensor, but then reduced back similar to QHY9 by bayer matrix), slightly larger and wider FOV which again feels a bit more "modern".
Actually its great to hear from you. First time ever I had a go at this one was actually 10Chain back when we all had much less gray hair
