IC2944 is the last of our narrowband test shots :)

[Skygems Observatory network @SkygemsNetwork]

Next shot taken during our test runs of our FSQ106 in Namibia, here with a narrowband elaboration of IC 4628 by Rolando Ligustri 👍

[Skygems Observatory network @SkygemsNetwork]

First light taken with the FSQ106 in narrowband on 6th june 2022. Quick elaboration, thanks to Davide De Martin for his help :) 😄

[Skygems Observatory network @SkygemsNetwork]

So our FSQ106 is putting out somenice raw data. here it's a single, auto-stretched red frame, 300 seconds of exposure

[Skygems Observatory network @SkygemsNetwork]

Our FSQ106 in Namibia is close to going operational. It is already now bookable, at a very competitive rate 😄 #remoteastronomy #skygems
