First light with new QSI683 - Eta C.

Decided to move up from my QHY8 pro to QSI683.

Eta Carina, 1.5hrs LRGB with Astrodon filters and put it together with PI after watching a few of 'Harry's' PI videos.

It's not perfect but I'm rather happy with my first effort.

I can now see why luminance is king :-) Cant wait to attack a galaxy or two.

Very nice image Dave, and congratulations on your new camera! It is a great piece of equipment.

P.S. Now you just need to update your signature

Seems to me to be a bit too red Dave but otherwise a great first light. Congratulations!

The filters of Astrodon are excellent .I believe that you had to work to manage the enormous amount of signal that you have collected!
congratulations,
