First image taken with the new CMOS sensor on CHI-1

We are happy to present the first dataset taken with the new QHY600M sensor and the CHI-1 telescope. The initial results show superior sensitivity to the older CCD camera. This dataset consists of Ha: 10 x 600s, OIII: 9 x 600s and SII: 14 x 600s.
We have new LRGB data taken earlier today and will post that image as soon as I've processed it.
