Hi all
Well, I got a chance to take a quick image to test the new camera. This is what I got with it.
Christmas Tree Cluster NGC-2264
4 minute subs x 24 for 96 minute total in Luminance only.
I just did not have time for the color and I was just wanting a look at what it would do.
Could have done a little better on focus, but not bad. More time would have been nice as would color.
Had to shrink it from 1340 x 1005 to 800 x 600 so that I could upload it.
