First Light, New Camera Test NGC1365

I wasn't going to post this (as I had my hopes dashed this cycle thanks to the terrible weather). But, it's something....

Anyway, 64 min luminance (8 subs/8 min each) with my PlayerOne Poseidon M (gain=0) on my TEC-180 with the BARADV. FL = ~ 2520mm @ .31 arc-sec

I was quite skeptical as to whether this would work. I did very minimal processing...just a very basic screen stretch followed by one pass of BLURX and NOISEX. For sure there is some distortion in the corners using the BARADV that shows up a bit more than my smaller chip camera (Trius SX694). But, Blur X does a fine job of correcting. The subs all measured around 1.7 FWHM so seeing was pretty decent on the single cooperative night a couple of weeks ago. The .jpg shows the entire frame.

If the weather ever decides to cooperate I hope to get more data and to post something worthy.
