QHY5L-II southern Highlands

[Stardust]

Finally decided on a new guide/Lunar camera. Arrived yesterday and had a few test runs. This is the Southern Highlands with Tycho (85km diameter) at the bottom. Taken through a Meade 127 refractor and around 600 frames stacked,

Quite happy with the results, I think this will keep me occupied for Lunar work.

Hi,

Nice image, I have been looking for a decent Lunar/Planetary camera to go with my new telescope next month, I will have to look at one of these. Look forward to seeing more in the future.

Very nice indeed, I too have the same scope which I now use just for lunar imaging & have taken some of my best shots with( what a lovely refractor they are)!

[Emmanuel Marchal]

very nice. i just bought one (color model). Is yours color or mono?

[Stardust]

I really like this refractor, very happy with it. 

The QHY5L-II is a mono one as I wanted a good guide camera, then found it does Lunar good enough for me and also does the PST quite well, infact I've not used it for guiding yet. A versatile piece of kit.

Out of interest (for a complete novice who has just bought a QHY5L-II) what software do you use for imaging and stacking?

Kind regards
