I was just outside imaging Orion trying to get some nebulosity from M42.

My settings were:
ISO 800 NR On, Long Exposure NR On
5" Exposure
Live View for 10x zoom star focusing

I only had time to do 5 light frames and 5 dark frames this time before clouds came over. I stacked them and the images came out far more noisy than any other camera I've used. My Nikon D50 outperformed this in Astrophotography with a single light frame.

Am I doing something wrong?
