Gee's what can i say after 3 days of use with the 350D? you have to get one!! :thumbsup:
i wonder what it will be like even modded.

First time i have captured the entire ETA :lol: . The DSI couldnt reach the entire thing. ETA consist of 10 x 4 mins exposure ISO 800 with darks and flats subtracted. cropped around the edges abit so smaller image scale. the image was actually captured during the early hours in the morning.

hope you guys like it.

Eric,

I haven't had time to keep track of your other threads about your frustrations of using the DSLR on your scope, to know what your problems have been, but this sure looks good to me! It's not perfect obviuosly, have to have room to improve, but it's great for a week or whatever out of the box!

I got some nice surprises with my 350D on my LX when I first got the camera... haven't put it back on prime focus since actually, makes me wonder...

Anyway, good progress you have here.

I'm quite surprised with the level of brightness considering the camera is unmodified. I haven't tried mine on Eta yet, maybe I should.

Roger.

I would be interested to see a "side by side" comparison between the DSI and the 350D. I am sure you have some shots you have taken with both setups, it would be interesting to see how the views, resolution, colour etc compare for the same objects.

thanks. There's plenty more. :) It takes more processing time than the DSI .
