:D Wow beautiful shot Paul thats stunning :thumbsup:

[ballaratdragons]

Excellent Paul!

There is no Red showing up on my monitor! Unless you mean the slight Dark Burgundy colouring in the far left area of the pic.

Stunning image Paul - well done. Is your 300D modified, or is it "au naturel"?

Cheers

Really nice shot Paul! Did you attach the cam to your new mount?

How did you find that imagestacker program to use?

[[1ponders]]

Thanks everyone. Non modified Canon. The image stacker was a piece of cake. If all you want to do is add stack or average images I found it great. I'll be hanging on to that one.

This was just piggy back to my celestron refractor which I used as a guidescope on top of the Losmandy

Thanks Terry, must be a pat on the back session. I've just been over raving and asking same questions about your lagoon wide field. :lol:

I used a standard Canon 35-80mm Zoom. (from my old EOS500) f/6.3 Now Someone is going to say something here I'm sure. I said 120mm focal length up the top and I'm still not sure about this but the advice I've been given is to multiply you lens FL by 1.5 when using the 300D (true/false)

[CometGuy]

Paul,

Most people using DSLRs seem to give the focal length as the true focal length - i.e 80mm. Have a look on any of the photographic forums and you will see this is the case.

Otherwise you should state that it is 120mm EQUIVALENT focal length.
