@@DylanODonnell the small cameras come with the flatter box, the big cooling cameras come in the larger box? That's how I figured it worked with the 290mm and 183mm I own. The qhy box is bigger still though, and the negative print of the sky is a nice touch.
Haha i had the video edit open as I was editing the first light so it all just happened 😆 .. still using windows on Mac so almost everything works as advertised.
On the bright side Dylan you will always remember the good times with the old camera with the cool desktop wallpaper :) Finally after a 2.5 month wait my ZWO2600 shipped today
The music made me so pump I went and ordered a goto mount, large apo, a ton of accessories and this camera. My credit is shot! oh .. ooooh... there comes that drop again! What was i saying!?
Good one, Dylan, thanks for sharing! Am kind of a “unbox, plug & play” person, hadn’t even heard of bench testing before. Oh well, we live and learn.. Will check it out again in a couple of weeks when my new camera gets here, one of those coming in the brownish cardboard boxes, not the fancy design ones.. But you got my interest tickled, and will be checking out QHZCCD at some point..
Dylan!! why did you go crazy at the end 08:14? I was watching this video again - you are so much on the point and then something happened to you at the end!! It is like something in you come back alive!! I would like to know how you did so well until 08:14 and then you got that thing!! either way, I love your videos! Love your videos bro!
Dylan. I’ve been watching your videos since the beginning and this is definitely one of my favorites. Hilarious and equally cool, all while maintaining the level of science I’ve come to expect. Keep up the good work!!
Always enjoy your content. I hope all the ads I watched will pay for your new camera. The last ad is playing now, 1:15:00 long. I hope it pays you particularly well because I'm turning the volume down and going to bed while it finishes playing. You deserve it for dissecting your old camera and giving us a look under the microscope.
Great review. I've had the 247C since end of 2019 and really love its performance. Interesting on your "bright" bars along top and bottom of dark image. When I noticed the same thing in my early photos I contacted QHY and they seemed puzzled by what I was experiencing.Took me a while to figure out to use master dark frame to get rid of it. Also if you haven't already , QHY has a nice paper "Setting GAIN and OFFSET on cold CMOS camera for deep sky astrophotography.pdf" which goes into details to get the most from your camera. I also "characterized" my imager using the "Sensor Analysis" tool in Sharpcap. Would be interesting to see what your results might look like. Take care
A quick question though: What is the reason for the unsymetrical difraction spices on the bright star at the lower right corner? That answer would be very useful to me! Is it cable management of your camera in front of the RASA? Greetings Chris ps: don't get me wrong!! Thats a f** amazing image with only >10 min exposure! WTF Rasa! i'm jealous ;)
Still got some interesting bright star halos/artifacts despite that AR coating. Interesting, I haven't gotten that pattern on my asi 183mm on hyperstar, haven't used my qhy294c enough to know if it does it.
Hey! New to your channel! The plastic dome you have your gear in, that you have at home and can be assembled etc. Can you buy something like that online? Big cheers from Sweden!
Nice Video! Ethe "I've got this RASA 11 lying arround, gathering dust (not jealous at all ;-)) Cool bit of equipment! And really interesting, this winter I've astromodified a Nikon D3200 (the poor man's Version to get an IMX193 ) and the dark pattern looks similar, albeit being a bit "hotter" due to the lack of cooling. Though shooting M42 at 0°C in northern Hemisphere WInter has its perks, who needs active cooling :D
Dylan, Have you tried imaging NGC 1333 w/ your super rig? That’s what I want to try next Fall. Err maybe you don’t see it from the southern hemisphere...
Hey Dylan, thanks for another fun video! What is the opening thread size if you want to use the camera with no included adapter. I mean just thread it straight on to the optical path. Also, do you know what the back focus would be from there? Thanks Dylan!
Different for different scopes. I haven’t measured the thread but used the same adapter / spacers I had for my qhy12 to thread to right distance for rasa 11 with no filters (direct) with some trial and error.
Dylan I just cant bring myself to spend $300+ USD per filter for mono an only have the option of 4/3 or full frame "no APSC yet" when one comes out I will get a mono. I have my eyes set on the QHY 268c
Hallo I am Sahil from India.... I love astronomy!! I want telescope for starting it but how can I get enter it? Please make separate video on it! (How can we enter and learn astronomy or Astrophotography) Thanks!
I'm beginning to think there is another virus lurking in the byways and outback of the Australian continent. Obviously, having too much fun, Dylan. Good job on the video.
WTF!? ANOTHER RASA!? Dylan, I absolutely feel the same as you do about the natural beauty of the colors in space. That Orion/Running man image is the new standard I will use to hold up against my humble Canon EOS RP and Edge HD 8 images. Nice job!
Highpoint!? I bought gear from them and what lousy support and/or wrong info; all talk. I mentioned I has a Trad Quad filter and they bad-mouthed it so I went to CN and found happy owners of that filter. I do nearly all my business w OPT as a result. I ordered the zwo asi2600mc-p
The square looking reflection from poor reflective coated chips is called micro lensing, there's an array of micro lenses over the chip to direct photons to the sensors pixels to boost the chips Q.E ,The square pattern is most likely from the shape of the pixel/photodiode . four million bucks lol www.burglaryalarmsystem.com/images/374_super_had.jpg www.reddotforum.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/CMOS-sensor.jpg
@@DylanODonnell sure for the rasa maybe but the edge hd thats the reason you bought it right? because i am considering buying one for my edge hd because it has the longest focal length for guide scope. i really wanted your thoughts on this because i read and read on the topic cant find good information
Brilliant bro! Simply brilliant. Btw : you must have unlimited income. My wife said if I buy another piece of gear, she’ll stick a rocket up my ass and send me to outer reaches of space😱 Well. At least I can live out my Astro passion thru ur videos.🤓
Love the down to earth Aussie humour in your vlogs, a breath of fresh air in this otherwise stuffy, academically snobby hobby of ours. I’m looking to upgrade from modded DSLR to either OSC or mono and I really don’t know which way to go. I like the sharp detailed mono images but with the predominantly cloudy nights where I live it’ll take me a year just to produce one image. Oh 1st world problems!
That is one hell of an awesome smooth image,... though I'm amazed there are no comments asking how you took this image after destroying the camera,... ha.
Hehe, always funny. But god. Life is mean..ingless, because all cameras is going to die! But for the broken OT’s sake! They can be repaired before last light comes around the corner,

Dylan man, the ZWO cameras comes with a beautiful box. This was kind of missleading man.
I've bought 3 of them and they never have 🤷🏽♂️
@@DylanODonnell all my 3 cameras came like this

OMG you're so possessed at the end that was so funny 😂😂😂Just got my first QHY, can't wait to try it out, but if only I could make it work with Mac -_-
Haha i had the video edit open as I was editing the first light so it all just happened 😆 .. still using windows on Mac so almost everything works as advertised.

Where’s the Altair Astro love ? :) plus their cameras are a snazzy purple. I like that 😊😂
Love these vids. Definitely worth buying that camera for the box ;)
I really enjoy your the "things you do for your channel". Thanks for tip about the bit calculator. - Cheers
I just googled how to test your new astro camera and my reaction was "of course it's bloody Dylan".
Literally answering questions I hadn't even asked.
The music made me so pump I went and ordered a goto mount, large apo, a ton of accessories and this camera. My credit is shot! oh .. ooooh... there comes that drop again! What was i saying!?
Hahaha I can’t hear what you’re saying over the music but I’m makin shapes with my hands and smiling and nodding.
Definitely one of your best Videos Dylan!
Cheers Ray!
Hey Dylan! VERY helpfull and cool video! Glad you skipped the unboxing boring stuff ;) Greetings Chris
Wow, that QHY12 dark looks like my Altair 183C dark. Come to think of it, where is my 183?
Good one, Dylan, thanks for sharing! Am kind of a “unbox, plug & play” person, hadn’t even heard of bench testing before. Oh well, we live and learn..

Surely Altair competes directly with QHY and ZWO?
A quick question though: What is the reason for the unsymetrical difraction spices on the bright star at the lower right corner? That answer would be very useful to me! Is it cable management of your camera in front of the RASA?

ps: don't get me wrong!! Thats a f** amazing image with only >10 min exposure! WTF Rasa! i'm jealous ;)
great video i have had a 247c for a while now love this camera!
Autopsy on the camera was cool as, great video Dylan 👍
3:46 HAHAHahaha!! I just LOVE your sense of humor Dylan! 18 Minutes of integration?!?!?!? Geez great photo!
Still got some interesting bright star halos/artifacts despite that AR coating. Interesting, I haven't gotten that pattern on my asi 183mm on hyperstar, haven't used my qhy294c enough to know if it does it.

Yes it is! I shall have a video about the dome next week :)
Excellent Dylan 👌 nicely detailed how to bench test a new camera 🔭

Nice image at the end.... You crack me up mate .....BTW I dont know if you heard but the canceled NEAF this year

Different for different scopes. I haven’t measured the thread but used the same adapter / spacers I had for my qhy12 to thread to right distance for rasa 11 with no filters (direct) with some trial and error.
QHY makes a bunch of different adapter kits depending on what you need.

Congrats on the new cam brethren 😀.
This seems really in depth!
Any hints on how to go about ordering from High Point Scientific for Australian buyers pls. Excellent review, and thanks for skipping the unboxing! :)
Where can I find that adapter?
Thanks for the review. Well give High Point a call.

Doesn’t look like you had any issues with framing inside the image circle...that’s a bonus for having an 11” astrograph.
Heavily cropped!
Unboxing wasn't boring at the end of the film Se7en.
Oh. Was thinking about one of those for my edge 8 hyperstar. Is concerned about body size.
But is it really to fat?
Will let you know if I ever work out how to get it on the 8!
Nice, now do the 16-bit QHY268c.
Nice video. But can we have more Banjo music instead of 90' rave?
Well a’ight cleetus
