Hi there Everyone,

It's been a while since I have posted anything. Truth is I had an awful experience with an overseas vendor who I sent a DSLR to be modified with cooling and filter mod. I was told a eight week turn around which turned into 6 months with no joy so I demanded a refund and my camera returned (which had not even been started#. I could go into it a lot further as the whole situation was an awful joke which nearly turned me off for good but that's a story for another time. As I sold my other modded DSLR I couldn't image for all this time.

Anyhow, Happy to say I regained my motivation and I decided to buy myself a QHY9 mono and some Baader LRGB filters and finally cross over to CCD imaging. As usual with new purchases I had to wait a week or two before the clouds went away but finally got a cloud free night last Saturday and was able to capture 3 hours #RGB 60:60:60) of M83. I created a synthetic luminance as I find my light pollution is so bad my true luminance washes out very quickly.
I am very pleased with the camera.

As always comments and critique welcome
Thanks For Looking,
Lucas
