Thanks for the comments guys. To put my 1st light experience in perspective, I should perhaps say that coming from a dedicated astro ccd background, using a DSLR intended for terrestrial use may inevitably “feel” clumsier by comparison. Exacerbating this, maybe it’s not such a good idea to introduce myself to the 40D and EOS utility for the first time, late at night, under the dim red light of a feeble LED head torch!
I was very impressed with the lack of noise in the 40D image, even at ISO 800, and that’s before I discovered and “Enabled” the “In camera noise reduction” and “Noise reduction at high ISO” settings. Live View is really gob smackingly fantastic.
Oh, and did I mention the almost instantaneous USB2 downloads, compared to the sloooow 16 sec wait for my (older) parallel ST7 – now that was delicious!
Cheers
Dennis
