First Light Atik 4000 Sculptor Galaxy Luminance

Here is my very first image from my new Atik 4000.

Finally got out and tested the Camera. 3/4 moon and a bit misty. Target the Sculptor Galaxy.

Here are two images. First is a stack of 4 x 10 min L, fully calibrated with darks, bias, flats, flat darks.

Second a crop of the Sculptor

Camera runing at -15 deg temp.

Image scale 3.18 arsec/pix through ED80 on EQ6 phd guiding - Imaged size reduced to 50% for uploading

Separate thread on this can be found here
