That's a nice set of images 👍

Stunning image, very nice 👍

I'd definitely like to see a Stars section. I find observing coloured stars and, especially coloured doubles, is my favourite past time.

That's a great image 👍

That is lovely, I love the star colours and the star cluster top left, is it M52?

I see stop signs, not pictures...

I've tried again, can you see them now?

Hi, this is my first attempt - M81 & M82 taken on 16/04/20. I used a Nikon D750, SW Esprit 100ED. It was unguided and something like 150 x 10 second at ISO 1000.

I bought mine second-hand several months ago now, paid quote abit more than that but it's clean see a whistle...

A friend bought one just before me  but for substantially less than what youre  looking at and it's not given him any issues..they're fantastic camera's ..

I'd have another if I could afford it

Maybe drop atik an email and ask what can be done , although I'd doubt that they're working in the current situation

Update, I've just recieved a email from Atik to say that atik uk are working from home..

Thanks that's a good idea, I've sent them an email.

 I would say that is fine but I would expect it to be cheaper than a camera with a perfect sensor. If not then they come up quite often so do to feel like you need to go for one with an issue.

It is being sold for £800, FLO have it at £1962

Hi everyone,

I've seen an Atik 460EX mono ccd camera for sale second hand however the advert states that 'The sensor does have 2 defective columns and if you use cosmetic correction in pixinsight, they are column 418 : rows 30-2199 and column 2463 : rows 180-2199.' I am a newbie just starting out in astrophotography and from what I've read this is a good camera and the price is very good but I don't want to buy this if these defective columns would be a major issue. Any advice here would be most appreciated.

Dave
