We've finally had a few clear days in Perth, so I thought I'd get my new QSI camera out for the second time in three months. I haven't got the focuser on my Starfinder 10" motorised yet, so this is hand focused. I took 20x 2min L, and 8x5min R,G and B. I also took some 15 min H-alpha, but they're not in this mix yet. Apart from the slight yellow cast, I'm reasonably pleased with the colours in this, especially the red in the star forming regions in the arms.
comments and constructive advice welcomed!
