Allan,
Seems to be decent scope. My collimation is still a bit off as per CCD Inspector. Moonlight will be a nice addition. I have a feathertouch 3.5 inch on mine with Robofocus. Seems like a solid imaging train but the QHY10 is not a real test as its pretty light.
QHy10 seems like a realy good OSC camera. Very low Dark noise. Very low readout noise. Measured mine at 6.9 e-. gets down to -30 with ease. Its a pretty decent size chip so will show any opitc issues very quickly.
As you can see with my CCDInspector attachement. The uncropped image has a lot more curvature.
I think the camera would be very well suited to a dark sky. I will be going back to Mono soon with LRGB, HA etc.... as I believe reesults better from light polluted suburb like mine. Guess we will find out.
I am new to ccd inspector. What kind of collimation numbers are reasonable to aim for ?
