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.

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...

Very nice Jason! The color looks good to me.

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