Nice one Duncan, some good detail in there as well.
I think the 294 sensor is the pick of the bunch if the inherent issues can be worked out like you've managed to do.
Robert
always nice to see galaxies.
Mac.
Thanks guys, it's nice to see everyone elses images as well.
BTW The background is a bit black to kill off filter reflections. I'm now using the full moon to try and reduce/eliminate them. Might be the ultra cheap Svbony UV/IR I'm using though :o
This QHY294PROC seems a bit better behaved than the ZWO ASI294MC Pro, I haven't seen any colour blotches using it at the default settings and it cools down to -5c in a minute or two, the fan can get it to about freezing from +7 ambient with no set point set! Woe betide you if you want to image at +10 with this camera 8)
