OK, I've shot this before, but this is first light with a used SXVF-H9 camera I have obtained. The camera has an electrical problem that sends a noise-creating current into the system, and I've sent it off for repair. SX makes wonderful cameras, and their customer service has been top notch. I have every hope the camera will come back in fine working order. At any rate, this first light gives a hint at what the camera can do. Darks and bias frames subtracted, and flats applied, and reduced in size by one-third.
