Orion Panorama with the QHY367

This is a new process of data captured from Whitewater Colorado on the slopes of Grand Mesa. Using the new COLDMOS QHY367C, Full Frame 7376x4938, 36.4mega pixel One Shot Color Sony CMOS IMX096 sensor camera sporting the sensor used in the Nikon D810a. For this capture I used a Gain of 1208 and Offset of 76, although since then I have been using the Unity Gain of 2850.

For comparison, here is my earlier Mosaic of Orion captured using the QHY11 Mono CCD, total integration time was over 40 hours (admittedly this image has H-Alpha added) www.flickr.com/photos/terryhancock/15094540899/in/album-7...
