First Light. QHY9, Ha, Polluted Sydney.

Hello,

Knowing nothing about monochrome ccd's and RGB imaging, I took the plunge before Christmas and bought a QHY9 camera with a Ha filter.

My aim was to increase my usual 4 times a year imaging sessions at dark sites by making my light polluted Sydney backyard a viable imaging location.

I have been pleasantly surprised at what I can capture.
Here a 3 of my first attempts.

What do you think?

Thanks for looking.
