The Swordsman Of The Sky (annotated view)
This is my first light image using the QHY367C on a Rokinon 135mm F2 lens captured from grandmesaobservatory.com
For focusing I used David Lane's "Reveal Focus Filter" which works just like a Bahtinov mask http://www.davelaneastrophotography.com/product/100mm-reveal-focus-filter/
I love the wide field of this cam/lens combination, only 119 x 60 second exposures for a total integration time just under 2 hours

This is the most impressive Orion Wide Field I have seen in a long time, congrats Terry. Out of curiosity, are those long reddish and short blue-green streaks radiating away from some stars something you captured or the result of some flaw in the image processing routines of Pix insight / or Photoshop? it does not really impact on the beauty of you photo but did you find out what it is?

Hello Terry. Nicely done. I didn't realize you could push the gain on a QHY camera so high.
