Hi astropals,
I got me a QHY8 color, I knew it was a large format camera but on my goodness shocked , I took this on a my tak tsa 102 on a CI-700 mount. This is the lagoon last night about 1am it was a 1 minute shot, no lights no darks no filters. 1 frame. I did curve it a little photoshop.

Yep,good start Sonya!
Take some more sub exposures and stack them up smile This will improve your signal and let you stretch the image more.
