a single 4 minute shot, very windy night tonight
Meade 8" Schmidt-Newtonian mounted on a Celestron Advanced Series GT.
The camera is a Sbig ST2000XCM controlled with AstroArt v3.
I got 80 minutes of data on this to process later.
I'm really happy so far with the color from this camera.

that's really good for 4 minutes John

no way that the KAI2000CM would have produced such a nice image

it would have been much noiser

John, you can be happy indeed. With 80 minutes this will certainly look very
good. If I had better skies I might be tempted to go the "single shot
colour" route myself...

Stefan
