I recently replaced my ATIK 16IC color with a QSI 516ws and just "finished" processing this image. It is my first color image taken with a monochrome camera so I still have much to learn but I'm happy with the results. With the completion of a small backyard observatory I now hope to get much more imaging time with the 516. grin I have yet to process data I've collected of M1 and the horse head nebula and will post them once completed.

SV105
Total of 5 hours with LRGB filters
G11

Thanks for looking and any comments or suggestions are appreciated.

The QSI looks to be a winner. Fine image. Good luck with the observatory.

Very nice Eric, the new camera looks like a winner! Tracking looks good and the noise level look great, so keep them coming!.
