I was keen to test out my new ZWO ASI290mm camera this morning, alas weather conditions were not in my favour with an ever increasing haze hindering transparency and contrast, and poor seeing meaning I had to stop the scope down to 90mm in an attempt to work within the constraints of the conditions. This image was taken at f40, which with the 290mm is most definitely oversampling. However exposure time was still short with little gain which is testament to the sensitivity of this camera at 393nm, which has got to be a good thing. Hoping the haze clears soon so I can explore it's capabilities some more.
