Allan kindly let me have a loan of his QHY8 and I gave it a first try last night from home in Brisbane. I must say I'm impressed at how easy it is to use and the quality of image I got in what was less than ideal imaging conditions with the moon and Brisbane sky glow.

Here's my first attempt on the Hamburger 12x5min lights with flats and bias frames but no darks through the 10" Newt. The other first was using my DSI II pro to guide through a F80 Stellarvue finder.

I realise there is coma at the edges from the Newt and have on order the T adaptor for my Paracorr to sort that out.

I've done a quick process - comments welcome.
