Morning Reflections
Fullspectrum mod first light! Well, technically, "second" light. The first attempt was an absolute shambles at the worst time ever!😟
Dropped the camera off for a fullspectrum mod two weeks ago and after picking it up, I was keen as mustard to test it out. So, I headed to the Pinnacles during a massive CME with auroras expected to light up the sky. Everything looked great on the LCD, but when I got home and chucked the SD card in the computer, the image file sizes were suspiciously too small. That’s when I realised... I’d been shooting in JPEGs! 😟
The guys who did the mod had changed the output image format, and I didn’t even think to check...after all, shooting in RAW format is something I had always taken from granted.
Moral of the story: always check ALL your settings after someone’s fiddled with your gear.
Anyway, this shot is from two mornings ago at Lake Moyanup. We had about an hour of moonless skies, so I dragged my partner out of bed and shot this 10-panel vertical panorama. I'm stoked with the amount of H-alpha data this camera pulls in after the mod, even with all the light pollution in that location (bortle class 4).
