G'day All,

I can't vouch for the Canon 300D as I have a 350D (is there much of a difference?) but I was mucking around one Full Moon night and took the following shots. All settings are the same except for the White Balance.

5 second exposure, 1600 ISO and aperture set at 5.6

Image 1: WB = Tungsten
Image 2: WB = Fluro
Image 3: WB = Daylight
Image 4: WB = Cloudy
Image 5: WB = Flash
Image 6: WB = Auto

My camera has not been modified and I'll admit that it was
not done under normal astrophotographic conditions but the change in colour of the sky and the gum tree are quite obvious under different settings whereas other settings are almost identical.

Personally I like the WB set to Tungsten as it gives the sky a wonderfully rich blue.

Peter.
