First light....

Here is my long awaited first light image with my new Mewlon 250. I think seeing was only average and I was dodging clouds during the session. I only did a boilerplate processing, nothing fancy. I just wanted to get an idea what I have. This was shot with the Toucam, Baader NIRB filter and 2.5x powermate. I then enlarged it 1.5x. I haven't had time to even touch the images shot with the Lumenera yet. From all indications, I think I will be one happy guy!! This was 260/1200 frames. I hope to do better when I get time to really sit down and use our processing tricks. I also plan to post a picture of the scope and me (beauty and the beast if you will) later today. grin

Hi Paul,

Congratulations on your first light image, a fine one at that. I'm sure we'll be seeing many great images from you in the near future.

Clear skies,
