Great first light!

Thanks Iceman,

I will get some flats, but first i want to learn the camera a bit more, so many things to learn

Once you've got your calibration library sorted, you should be well on the way to delivering some impressive images. Look forward to seeing more.

Thanks Jase,

I might have started better than you, but if i can finish half as well I will be very happy

Flats are definately on the list, as for more data I only have a 30 minute window between trees, so I am waiting on my adaptor dc/dc so I can get out of the backyard and get some more!

Focus is a bit off.

Looks like the chip also needs a clean.

That said, getting the HH from Gelbe (!) ..hey you can run the marathon, but driving is sooo much easier

No doubt, focusing is far different from the DSLR and I cant seem to fix the right focus yet.

I will clean the chip but at the moment I just got it to stop frosting and dont want to open it up just yet as I will have to bake the dessicant and wait 3 or 4 days again.

HH from Glebe. Well, I dont get out of town much so I have to try. Still that was under 30 minutes. Once I can go longer I hope to be able to get all the HH I want, limted only by my patience.

Thanks for all the comments

Paul
