It's been a delight o finally see clear blue skies in Sydney's south...plus some welcome clearing rain.
High time to test the new toy! Canon's EOS Ra full-frame astro DSLR.
Standard candle image: M42
This is what I'd call lazy imaging at its finest.
Finding focus was a doddle using Canon's 30x magnification feature.
Set up a time-lapse to take 30 images. Go inside and watch the TV.
Being an urban imager, skyglow is a perennial PITA so I was not sure what I would get with an uncooled CMOS that was worth capturing above the background glow.
I was pleasantly surprised! I can see great potential from this camera under dark skies.
