First go with new camera, 26/10 double transit

[yelsac]

A bit late to the party.

First light with new camera QHY5III 462c.

Seeing was awful windy, misty, strong jetstream etc..... but just had to have a go at the double transit. Trying to get used to the new setup, but even though it wasn't idea conditions I could still see the improvements over the old QHY5LIIc. I'm excited about what could be possible on one of those clear nights if we ever get one!

setup- 10" f4.8 reflector, QHY5III 462c, UV/IR cut, 2.5 Rev barlow, 120 sec avi, pipp, as3, image analyzer.

A few all a little on the noisy side I'm afraid

These are great images and an excellent 1st light with the 462MC sensor camera. I have just bought the ASI version and for me it's been a game changer.
