M104 LRGB

More first-light shadedowns of the new camera. I got a chance to test an ST-10XME last week, and I was very satisfied with the results, so I went ahead and ordered one for myself. As luck would have it, I ordered a camera with a class 1 chip (standard is class 2), and I guess not many people do that upgrade because I was able to get the camera right away. In early tests, the camera is very low noise (about 15% less read noise than the loaner I tested with) and is providing excellent images.

This M104 image is a median combine of three 20-minute guided images. Color is from an earlier ST-1001E image at lower resolution. ST-10XME on C14, Paramount ME at New Mexico Skies (my remote scope).

Ron,
That is breath-taking! I shot M104 earlier this evening on a 4.7" achromat, so I am expecting the same results! *L* After seeing this one, I think I'll save myself time and money, abd not develope this roll...*L*
