Hey all
It's been quite a while since I bought the QHY-9, and I still haven't managed more than two nights with it. I've just managed to adapt some hardware to get the metal back distance from the reducer correct with the QHY-9 filter wheel in place. I had it out for a little while last night on the Sky-90 and produced this Ha effort before the moon came up at around 8:00pm. Not long, in other words.
Oh well, can't wait until the new moon weekend coming up where I'll head down south with a few friends and image the night away.
I'll also be starting to run the LRGB filter set soon. Can't wait for some colour...
