Hi Everyone,

I hope you had a great Thankgiving.

Here is an image that I took earlier this month after I recieved my ST-10XME. I used this target to test the saturation point of my system. I didn't spend a lot of time taking the data, so it's not the best image. The total times were also pretty short, but it shows the sensitivity of this camera.

Image specs:

AP155EDF f/7
.67x reducer
ST-10XME
LRGB 33:15:15:15 min.; 3min frames
Astrodon filters


Thanks for looking,

I thought the histiogram looked a little yellow, so I reprocessed M33 and balanced the color histiogram. Here's what I got:
