Couple of 3nm Test Images

I had to replace the USB hub on my camera as the connection was dodgy. It manifested as a downward spike in the column on bright stars. Even with the dodgy USB hub this spike disappeared at 1MHz download of the image.

I decided to collect a 32min dark and bias set at -40C using the 1MHz download option also with RBI.

This is 5x32 min of the Lagoon and Trifid in 3nm NII at -40C, 8MB.

This is 7x32min of NGC 6334 and NGC 6357 in 3nm NII at -40C, 8MB.

Even though the noise was extremely low I still hit both images with AWT and MMT with PixInsight.


I reckon it is now all working quite well.

Looks like it is working really well Bert!
Wonderful seeing how much gas there is around the M8 & M20 regions!

Here are a couple more.

Only 5x32 min.

More frames will show the outer halo far better.

Two starless images. Both 8MB.
