First attempt at mono image

[Allinthehead]

Hi. So i received my asi1600mm on thursday and managed to get everything working nicely. Last night was half decent so i grabbed 60 1 minute subs on the wall.

This is shot using a sw 80ed with .85 reducer and f/f

No filters or wheel yet.

using gain 380 and offset 50.

Hoping to get another pair of eyes on this as i've no idea how this looks as i've spent so long staring at it.

Very nice indeed

those CMOS based ASI 1600mm cameras are real competition to the big name CCD camera manufacturers ....

Thanks skybound. The 1600 is a big step up in quality from my 600d. 

Are those bigger stars overexposed? Is there anything i can do about them? They came out of the camera that big.

Have you seen this? Gina has a thread where you can follow her work with the ASI 1600.

Cheers,

Thanks Wim, i had been reading that thread, understanding little and learning plenty. Reading it again paying particular attention to filters and their impact on star size answers my question. Thanks
