Mate,

Just checked out your terrestrial shots.

You are doing some excellent work there Obvioulsy the raw data and composition is great It looks like you are applying a PS mask to get that final effect??

Very nicely done.

Cheers

The camera has insanely good high-ISO low noise properties. Of course, the par for the course with astro-imaging is taking dark frames; taking dark frames for each object yields an even lower noise master dark frame.

I've taken a handful of images with mine.

They can be seen here:

If you intend to use it for terrestrial purposes, have a look through the terrestrial image forum here where I've posted a lot of images.
