Eta Carina with Modded 40D

[hotspur]

Been ages since I made any attempt at astrophotography,but last night manged a few three and five minute exposures of Eta carina through 4 inch refractor and a Modded 40D I bought over a year ago.My first time on this object with this camera.

Very nice Chris; I would like a modded camera for certain objects, but
unfortunately I can't afford two DSLRs.

Thanks all. Yes Bo the camera is great!!! although not used a great deal,very pleased to have it just for these type of objects,I used your power supply/battery thingy,for the first time last might-much better than the one I had,although I'll still use (or try to use it) when away from observatory.:thumbsup:

Looks great Chris. Although most will think that Eta looks better imaged through a non-modified DSLR (more complete colour palette), point that camera at something like the horse head nebula and it will blow you away.

Nice work Chris. Glad you've been making use of the clear nights recently.
