QHY10 first light images from topside (UK)

Hello fellow imagers,

Greetings from the dark & damp UK

I bought myself a QHY10 a couple of months ago and it had it's first light last
week - UK weather finally gave up being horrible for a couple of days.

So I decided on M27 & M13 as my two first targets mainly because they are like
chalk and cheese and it would be a good test for the camera (and me). All the
subs for both targets were 600s (10mins) and both images used bias & flat frames
but no darks. More details on each image can be found by clicking the link under
the image.

M27 : http://www.dt-space.co.uk/AstroImages/M27.html

I was very pleased with the camera performance compared to my QHY9M+FW. I think
with my current level of processing skills the results are about the same.

Comments always 'very' welcome.

Cheers & clear skies,

Dave
