M42 with a QHY8 and 14 minutes
I have been testing this camera now for a few weeks, but mainly testing conditions and glitches, as i will be the distributer for the QHY cameras here in Australia. Just finalizing some details, but nevertherless, these cameras are certainly up there with the big boys, and produce great images.
This was imaged during a gibbous moon, and was imaged at only 14 minutes total, with no flats or darks. I over done the processing (Black halo around some stars) but its only a test.
Scope was a 14" RCX at f5 (Giant Lumicon reducer) in suburban skies. Camera QHY8 6 Mpixel Oneshot Colour, Clear filter.
If anyone wants to know about these cameras just pm me and i'll help as best i can.
Ive binned the image 3x3 to fit within the filesize limits.
