Really need to learn how to use this camera and process the images, very different again from B/W and DSLR. The gain was set to “0” (“Maximum dynamic range”). Using the 120mm Esprit @ F7 native focal length of 883mm. As a first impression also the camera takes a lot longer to cool down compared to the ASI183MM and the files are pretty large at 50 Mb.
With the crescent Moon as a reference, this was the moment to find Venus and Mercury back, in plain daylight, just before they would both hide behind the roofs & trees. Actually this is my first ever Mercury picture (widefield excluding). Both pictures with the Esprit 120 & ASI290MM.
