First light with the telescope and camera. Couldn't wait for the white nights to end, so the final result is predictably mediocre, and the processing was done hastily on a laptop, but at least something is visible (narrowband rules!). Managed to cool the camera down to +5 degrees Celsius. So far, for deep-sky imaging, High Gain (2000) seems to work better.
