Ok finally got my first image with my new cam, not sure what to make of it though, for just over 7 hours of data At unity gain I was expecting more from it, image was taken on the 130pds at f4.5. I took darks and flats but when nebulosity applied them I ended up with a min pixel value of 0, very strange. I didn’t use a uv/ir cut filter and it shows on the stars I do have one on its way to me. Anyway here is my first image with this camera  I’m abit dissspointed with it to be honest I was expecting more from 7 hours of data and I don’t know why the stars are so red. The histrogram was way over to the left on each sub frame and when the darks were applied it went even more to the left, I really was expecting the histrogram to be at least 1/3 of the way across, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong with this camera but it’s driving me nuts.am I missing something? Is there something I need to do when setting it up?
