First try with the new toys

[alex-borek]

First try using the new camera (cmos ZWO ASI1600MM-C) and ZWO miniEFW (L, R, G, B, Ha).
Tried to make the best out of a few clear hours and got 10x180s or each RGB and 22x180s Ha of this beauty, Eta Carina.
Pre-processed and stacked using DSS and post-processing on PS.
SW NEQ6, ED80, guided (0.50" RMS) using 80mm guidescope + asi120mm.
*FF isn't corretcly spaced (maybe 0.5mm off) so stars around the corners are not that great.
High res (not drizzled cause DSS is a pain): Astrobin

**taken from Sydney's inner west (red to white)

It’s a very nice first light

[alex-borek]

Thanks everyone! And yea, I'm surprised that something really good came out. Usually the first light of any equipment can be described as hours of issues. Lucky me!

Agreed excellent first light, I wish mine would have been that good for a first attempt all those years ago
