Here is first light with the QSI 683ws (though no filters). I ordered the Astrodon LRGB Gen II E series that will be in next week, so RGB to follow. This is my first go-round with CCD imaging. This is only 2.3 hours worth of photons and my tracking was giving me some fits! So here is a quick and dirty Black eye!

Thanks a lot guys! Here is a new one in which I attempted to repair some of the elongated stars. I am hoping to get out tonight to tighten things down and try to image with tighter stars.

That's a pretty good first light, Steve. I'm looking forward to seeing the final LRGB.!

Nice! I'll have my QSI683-wsg-c (mono) by Monday or Tuesday, so I'm looking forward to this!
