OK, I have just finished taking 3 shots of M83 with the cheap telephoto lens i have 300mm fl, and all i can say is WOW.
I took 3 x 3 minute shots with NO NR, in RAW mode with the camera at room temperature then i combined them and enhaced it slightly to look better (just 1 cycle of UNSHARP), plus i also took a crop out before the Unsharp was applied, so that way you can see how good this camera really is.
You can even see some very tiny fainter galaxies around the middle area as well in the full size image, with around 60mm of lens !.
Well, im getting one after this test, i mean, 9 minutes on M83 with a harsh filter... Imagine without... This camera will be the demise for many Astro CCD cameras, even SBIG (Cost wise).
As shown on the image you can see amp glow on the corners, tyhis is to be expected, but thats at 20 Deg, when i took the M8 image yesterday the camera was at 12 Deg, with NO amp glow visible.
Anyway it doest matter much as you can remove the glow with the NR on (Dark Frame).
Well, im going back out and taking some more shots.. Be back soon.
