Eta Carinae with 60Da

[RobF (Rob)]

Yes, but what was ambient temp when you were shooting - 15 to 20 degrees or cooler or warmer?

Just trying to get a feel, as noise in pic pretty well controlled. In Qld DSLR noise is a big problem in the warmer months

Hope you get it, I've been happy with mine. I just wish these bloody clouds would take a hike so I can try it some more.

Sorry, I misunderstood. It was quite warm for april down here, somewhere between 15 and 20 degrees. It was so warm, I was still walking around inshorts, T-shirt and sandals at 11.30pm.

If you or anyone else are interested, I'll take some darks at various different temperatures and ISO's. I can either post them or send them.

Finally, had time to do this one as well, have been running around like a headsless chook this week. Images taken on the same night with the same rig. 40 x 10 seconds ISO6400, WO 72mm Megrez, WO Pflat3, Canon 60 Da. Crop of Tarantula.

Very good photo for 10 sec exposures David.

Camera exhibits a lot of potential.
