Congrats on purchase of your new baby!
Have you registered on the QHYCCD forums and read up on the wealth of info in there? |
Rob,
I've been using the time reading a user manual I found on the web. I'll have to check out the QHYCCD forum...

There is amp glow so you will need to do Darks to get rid of it.
I used to shoot with a modified Canon 1000d and 350d. The results from the QHY8L are a huge improvement.
You will be very happy with the results.
Thanks.
Ross.

Ross,
I'm expecting a big improvement going from a standard, unmodified, Pentax Km to the QHY8L. Noise was always an issue here in Brisbane, especially in summer. I'm also looking at getting a better response from the Hydrogen alpha, especially in the Horsehead Nebula.
Can't wait for first light - what to shoot?!!!
Thanks both of you,
Cheers,
Mario
