astro mick Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) Hi the Jellyfish in Gemini. This is my first image with my new(well third hand Atik 460ex)Bought on ABS,very nice indeed. Just not into cmos at the mo,although everything seems to be gearing up for these cameras.Dont know why,no amp glow with ccd. So i put it to use on a couple of recent nights on the above Nebulae. Its a narrowband image using Ha and O111. I took about 2.5hrs amid the constant clouds that were passing through,guide star pinging constantly.(Frustration) So about 2-3hrs on two seperate nights. Fully calibrated. See what you think. Mick. Edited November 26, 2021 by astro mick 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeklee Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Good framing and capture Mick. Glad you got a chance to test out the camera so quickly even if it was fighting clouds the whole way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have,nt given up on the camera.I think its one or two things.The files were corrupted by downloading to the original USB stick,or something on your PC did,nt like it.Personally i think its the first one.Have now downloaded fresh drivers onto to a different USB. I,m trying to get an old PC up and running to test,but it has,nt been used for a while. I will keep you posted because i feel bad about selling you something we cant get working I dont give up easily. Nice to see you both as well. I,ll be in touch.
