Hi all,
Got myself a Canon 1100D after a few people mentioned it was a good camera for AP and a good slight upgrade from my old Canon 400D. I was very impressed with the noise levels at ISO1600 very happy.... so I slewed over to a simple target TUC47 to give the new camera a test run... This was the first time I had used live view, boy doesn't that make life easy... This shot is a combination of 10 x 60sec exposures at ISO1600, stacked in DSS. I also have some 9 second exposures also which I will stack soon to add to the core of the globular cluster. This was also the first image to come out of my recently almost completed observatory :D (still have to run power and bolt the pier down)
