First Light Atik 314L+ Helix test image

[CoolhandJo (Paul)]

After issues with goto accuracy, and clouds , I finally got to test my Atik 314L last night.

Took 1 x 600sec L, 4 x 300 sec L, 4 x 300 sec R, 3 x 300 sec G, B

No Darks, No Flats , No bias.

I can tell that the cooling (35 Deg below ambient) makes this camera easier to use in terms of noise and processing.

Next time I will put it through its paces and up the sub time and do full calibration.
