Very nice.

Nice indeed! I've got a very similar setup so it gives me something to aim for

Btw, do you see an increase in sensitivity in binned mode? And what was your frame rate?

Yeh. More sensitive when binned.
I believe I had it as 100% gain, 80ms exposure and 1.3 gamma.
It's so dim with 5xpowermate.

I don't know why it's Got a yellow tinge to it though..

Let me know how you go.
