first light QHY 8 fixed!
Yo dudes, thanks to people on here for me getting the second hand QHY 8 camera (Pmrid) thanks to me I blew the TEC cooler by accident without even getting one picture. I rang Theo and he suggested the ticket system at QHY HQ. So I sent it back and I now have it back and working and they didn't charge me a cent!
So I have tried through the miserable clouds to get some piccies. I had a go at M83 last week - 5 minute subs for 2 hours. Last night with a nearly full moon and water dripping off everything I had 10 min subs on Butterfly NGC 6405.
This is the first time I have processed OSC camera frames. Thanks Marc for advice. Used Neb 3 for acquisition and calibration, stacked in DSS and processed in Star tools.
I know they aren't that crash hot, but with just flats and darks and ten min subs (was 5'c ambient) I was well happy with these,my first proper CCD OSC pics.
