First light with the new QSI

[budguinn]

Hello Friends,

I bought a new camera at the AIC show...its a QSI 532WS. It uses the same chip as the ST10XME, but seems to have better dark noise....an internal filter wheel and is very sensitive as it is a NABG chip.

Here are a few of the first lights that I've taken in the past two days......The conditions are poor seeing and high-light clouds...so I shot most everything in HA and lum.

The imaging specs are on the site....

I think this is going to make a great camera.....I'll probably do mostly narrowband and then add this to the color from my one shot color.

I've got a nice new ME in the box...in my garage...but while I've got some clear nights I'll take pics.....mount the mount when it's rainy/cloudy.

thanks for looking

Absolutely STUNNING images Bud.... Although, at this point we have come to expect no less from you!!

Now all you got to do is get that Paramount ME up and running!!

The new cam appears to work very well. Hope you write up a short overview/review of how it works, and how it compares to your other cams.
