Here is my first ever LRGB image using the QSI 683. Hardly any data here, I was only able to get 12 min of RGB each. I need to revisit my alignment as I have not touched the mount since last fall. I had a lot of egg shaped stars that I processed out. This image is heavily cropped. So for a first light and a lot of testing and tweaking I am quite happy with how it came out.

This is sweet Steve, can't wait to see what you do with more time better tracking! Hell wish my 'good' nights came out as well.

Thanks Marc. The QSI has a built in FW. This was guided with a guide scope.
