Hi All

Great time taking pics of the transit after a long drive from Sydney's northern beaches to Yass. No clouds at Yass. Cold though.

During my long time taking pics at prime focus with a Canon EOS5DII and the Canon software, I got to thinking there must be a better program to use than this.

Any advice.

Thanks

Harry

Hi Harry,

Have a look at BackyardEOS http://www.backyardeos.com/ :)
I use it with my Canon 400D, takes alot of the guess work out of it, and it's reasonably cheap too...

APT (astrophotography tool) isn't bad either

And there's always the DSLR version of Maxim at a mere US$399.
