First light with the SXHF-H9 -> M33

[Neil I]

I recently bought a H9 via SGL (cheers Daz) and have been desperate to start imaging, and tonight was my first chance. This is my first attempt with a CCD as all my previous imaging has been with a Canon 1000d. I only managed an hour of luminance before the clouds rolled in, so didn't get to use my new filters, so the colour will have to wait. It was all a bit of a rush so the framing could have been better, but I'm pleased with what I've captured so far (and amazed at how more sensitive a CCD is when compared to a DSLR). So here is the Triangulum galaxy in 20x180s subs. Guided and captured with Maxim and processed (quickly) with PS. Hope you like.

Cheers
