Firstlight RC8 QHY9 H-alpha (colour added)

Only just managed to put all the new bits together, RC8+QHY9.
Took awhile to sort out some tilt issues and getting use to the new scope and camera, but here is my first light.

4 x 20min H-alpha of NGC3324.
No darks or flats applied, just DDP and some deconvolution.

And I can confirm that the stock GSO focuser(revised version) is definitely no no even for a relativey light QHY9+filterwheel.
Still need to work on obtaining a replacement focuser.
it's my 1st 20mins subs too my guiding and alignment will need to improve i think.
