Hi all,
Been awhile since I posted anything.I made a camera change a couple weeks ago and have had various problems on my previous first light attempts,all operator error :C So here is my first successful first light with my new camera,a ST-2000xm grin
Exposure times were 2minx10 each red,green,blue.
Let me know if the colors look right.
Thanks for looking.
Jason

Indeed, the DC was my first target with my new ST2000XM. I haven't tried RGB yet, but that is not a priority since I find monochrome appealing for astrophotography. I did fine art photography for over thiry years always in Black and White so a move to color imaging will be breaking a personal paradigm.

Here's my first DC...

Sure looks like you got the "operator error" under control--that's a wonderful image. Congrats.
