Hello everyone!
Here are the first 2 images from the weekend's effort to get to know the new QHY8. I know they are not the best, but I'm happy with them considering the effort required to get them. I would like to thank everyone who assisted me with advice in making these first two images possible.
Helix Nebula,
6x15min, dodgy flats and bias frames, captured using CCD Capture, calibrated and stacked in DSS, curves, levels,etc in PS CS2

Great Orion's Nebula,
9x10min and 5x1min, same processing & capture software as above

Thanks for looking!
