Anyone here image with an Olympus E-5?
My girlfriend wanted to have a go at imaging last night with her camera. She has an Olympus E-5. Ended up doing ISO400 60sec subs totalling 2h 35min.
The end result was severely banded when we pushed the image to get the eagle nebula out. I'm trying to diagnose this now.
It could be that the moon was out and relatively close to the eagle and we just had to push it too much, or maybe the eagle is such a dark target that it's hard to image (can anyone here compare it to say the swan or lagoon?). In any case the end result was not pretty.
The other option is there's something wrong with the camera. Now I know Olympus does not have the best reputation in the noise field but either this is really bad or I'm trying to do a target way out of its reach.
An example centre crop is attached and it doesn't even show the worst banding. This is also after several passes of SCNR to remove the banding which showed up predominantly green.
