First light for a borrowed 4021

I have been very kindly lent an Artemis 4021 for a week or two and had the chance to try it out last night.

the first this I noticed is how mush less sensitive it is to my Artemis 429, but I suppose it's the price you pay with large format cameras.

so here's 5 x 10min subs of NGC7000 in Ha through the Vixen ED103S with a 6.3 reducer.

the flats are a bit carp so there's some brightening in the corners but it's not toooo bad.

No darks were used as the camera is pretty good for hot pixels.

now that's a tough question Rog,

I think I'd buy a 285 based camera first, yes the field is great but it's hard work compared to the smaller cams and I'm in this for the fun not for serious imaging.

I think I could be happy with a 285 and some spare cash.

I'll be sorry to hand it back but I won't miss it too much.

Superb image Ian.I was planing having a go at that one myself tonight for my debut DSO, if the fog doesn't come in, but on seeing this excellent image i might try something else for fear of embarrassment. :angry:
