Hi Guys, Mine arrived today. Quickly shot a serries of flats and made a master. I didn't bother to clean the CCD of the QHY8 which needed a clean.
The info below is from one of the FITS headers. The final Master is a combination of 20 such files combined in IP3.
SIMPLE = T / file does conform to FITS standard
BITPIX = 16 / number of bits per data pixel
NAXIS = 2 / number of data axes
NAXIS1 = 3040 / length of data axis 1
NAXIS2 = 2016 / length of data axis 2
EXTEND = T / FITS dataset may contain extensions
COMMENT FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) format is defined in 'Astronomy
COMMENT and Astrophysics', volume 376, page 359; bibcode: 2001A&A...376..359H
BZERO = 32768 / offset data range to that of unsigned short
BSCALE = 1 / default scaling factor
CREATOR = 'Nebulosity v2.0.3' / program and version that created this file
INSTRUME = 'QHY8 ' / instrument name
DATE = '2008-11-17 01:09:16' / UTC date that FITS file was created
XPIXSZ = 7.8 / X pixel size microns
YPIXSZ = 7.8 / Y pixel size microns
EXPOSURE = 0.6 / Exposure time [s]
GAIN = 32 / Camera gain
OFFSET = 104 / Camera offset
BIN_MODE = 1 / Camera binning mode
ARRAY_TY = 1 / CCD array type
XBINNING = 1 / Camera binning mode
YBINNING = 1 / Camera binning mode
EXPTIME = 0.6 / Exposure time [s]
INPUTFMT = 'FITS ' / Format of file from which image was read
At this stage I havent been able to try it on an actual image but hopefully tonight.
