M8 - First Light QHY10

[pmrid (Peter)]

I've struggled a bit with this new camera. Getting Gain/Offset right took a while and I'm still not sure if I have the right settings. But I managed a few hours of 10-minute subs last night and did a DSS/PS6 process with Bias only.

I chose a brighter object for this test because I'm still getting to grips with the QE in different colours. ANyway - here it is.

seems like you finally sorted out stacking Peter.

good to get a first light done. colorwise could be a little pinker but nicely done.

Cheers

That looks good to me Peter, Nice round stars and colour looks as expected

Whatever settings you used for the QHY seem to be working ok.

Cheers Geoff

Looks pretty good, Peter! Would be nice to squeeze some more colour variation out of the field but you did a nice job...

Cheers,
Rick.

Nice going Peter. Agree the star colours seem to have saturated out somewhere, but still a b* good image!
