This is the first quick test shot with my new FLI8300C and FSQ85. My friend Ashton and I shot this from up in Big Bear last night. This camera shows a lot of potential, thanks to Richard Crisp helping with the processing technique. I really like the Baby 'Q'. It's a fantastic little astrograph. More time on this image would have brought out a lot more detail quite easily.

Pretty cool image David. I'm thinking of getting one of the 8300 cameras - haven't decided which yet. What do you think of your FLI so far?

Nice framing. Is it black clipped? I bet there is more data in that image that could be extricated making it a fuller and richer image!
