I finally got a chance to use my new QHY10 MP camera.
This is my first fairly successful use of the camera.
I was able to get the settings setup and most importantly how to use DSS.
The weather was perfect and the air was nice and calm.
Shot with the Celestron 9.25" f/10 scope, QHY10 camera, PHD guiding, EZCap capture program.
180 sec Lights and Darks, 0 sec Bias files. #2 stacked in DSS.
Final processing for both in Lightroom and Topaz DeNoise.

Wow! That's colorful, Craig!
Good to see you back!

Your result after stacking makes me think of Mother of Pearl.
Keep shootin!

Nicely done Craig.
I haven't even attempted this one yet.

Thanks Sonny, I kinda figured that the 2nd, stacked shot, is the best. I finally had some fun with this new QHY10 camera.
