First light for Ceravolo 300 - NGC 5139

[Paul Haese]

Nice work Rick. I like the saturation but maybe the blue is a little too much for my taste. Great resolution.

AG12 as well... wow!... you're going for a bino set up?

Thanks, Paul. I don't mind the blue but I can see it might not be to everybody's taste

Might use the AG12 for RGB while the Ceravolo collects Luminance

Wow, what a set up! Glad to see that after all the grief with the camera you're ready to winter data collection

I'd like two 20" ones but I'm not that decadent yet, Mike Omega is one of the few targets that is bright enough to image well despite the light pollution here at home.

Thanks, Dave. The camera is working well now with its "a few days from end of warranty sensor transplant." Just hoping for a few months of great weather. I think we deserve it after the last few months!

Cheers,
Rick.
