New Toy has finally arrived

My new QSI683ws-8 arrived this morning so I wasn't hanging around the office for a chat this afternoon. I've installed the drivers, got the LRGB Ha, OIII and SII filters installed in the wheel and fired it up - all working nicely. I'm planning to use Neb 3 to drive it and was pleased to see it caters for an 8 position wheel and you can name the filter positions. The camera is quite a bit heavier than the QHY8 and I'm picking up a rolled aluminium plate to stiffen up the focuser area tomorrow.

I plan to spend the weekend taking darks.

Sorry about the weather SE QLD
