This was a test exposure to judge the performance of a QHY600 CMOS camera on my remote telescope. So far I'm happy!

Thats a nice camera. What do the dark frames look like? Any amp glow?

Hi Grant,

No amp glow detectable. It's a back illuminated Sony IMX455 CMOS chip so the QE is good. It's also got a true 16bit A/D converter which many CMOS cameras don't have. I'm impressed with it's performace so far but have only used it on three nights in the couple of weeks I've had it.
