M3 - first light

I have been absent for a while, sorry. What kept me away was trying out a camera I got on loan for awhile. It is the Artemis285. It has the Sony ICX285 chip like the Starlight XPress SXV-H9.

Here is M3. Focus was off, but I managed something out of it. I have attached a mid sized thumbnail, but a full size version along with exposure and processing details can be seen at:

Remember, this is not my ToUcam SC3 webcam.

Hi Jim,

I guess you can scratch that question from my response to your M63 image. Who makes this camera? Nice, looks like you have a potential winner there with the SXV-H9 chip camera!

Awesome shot Jim!
Nice camera indeed! (not to mention nice processing too)

Very nice globular Jim! I like the subtle star colors near the core.

Tom

Thanks everybody for your comments - I appreciate them.

Fellas by the names of Steve Chambers, Jon Grove, and Arthur Edwards designed and build these cameras. They have a website with a lot more info on it:
