Well, although I definitely overexposed the center of the image, this morning I was able to get full resolution (6248x4176) using my ASI2600MC with Sh...
@pwalker Yes, I have to say Antlia did a superb job of balancing everything with this triband filter, Paul. I don't get those weird color casts like ...
