Eagle Neb with Modded 20D

[leon]

Hi Guys,

Tonight is pretty boring, Full Moon, and not much to do, so I have the Eagle Neb for you which I did when I had Erics Modded 20D, which I have now sold onto Paul. :screwy: yea I know, you figure it out. :whistle:

Anyway, M16 was pretty low at the time, and seeing wasn't that good but I needed to try out this modded camera stuff.

The image is of 10 exposures at 2 minutes and 30 seconds each, at 400 ISO. through the Tak 106, and mounted on the G11, auto guided, and processed in Image Plus.

Please comment either way, I can use the help.

Leon :thumbsup:

Hi,

Looks good to me Leon. My only comment is that you could have used some more data.

Nice one leon - you should've kept that camera:P:P:P:P

Joke!!!!!

Nice pic, I can see them pillars of creation - sweet!!!

Cheers
Doug...roll on the modded 5D!;)

Very good image for 2min subs Leon. With longer exposure times it would have possibly been your best image.

What were you thinking when you sold this camera.

.:shrug: :shrug::shrug::shrug::shrug:

Should have kept both cameras for a great imaging range.

lol great M16 eagle for such a short sub. As what david have said, "what were you thinking when you sold this camera", i'll have another one up for sale soon if you are interested :whistle:

mind emailing me the unprocessed stacked version Leon? , i have a look at it.

Very nice Leon - not quite as black clipped as some of your other processed images and some good detail. Definitely agree with the others:
1) More data would've made it a cracker
2) Why did you sell that camera!? :)

Just kidding. You should just mod your 5D :)

Thanks Guys, yea I know I need a good slapping, :shrug: :lol: but do not fear, I'm working on it, once I get the courage to dismantle a 5D.

Leon :thumbsup:

[AlexN]

no no no! dont mod the 5D, keep it normal and buy a 1Ds mk2 and mod that! :)

Great shot

[Matty P]

A great capture for only 2 minute subs Leon but it could've used more data.

Mod you 5D! :)

[jase]

Good start Leon. Perhaps capture more data over the next few nights and amalgamate your efforts into one fine image. Look forward to seeing more.

A lovely looking widefield Leon.

Cheers

A lovely widefield. Yes we could all say we needed more data but then we would never see the pretty pics. As for the camera, I have been a little dissapointed with my DSI II pro from the begining and I don't live far from you...

[Ric]

Hi Matt, the DSI II can be a bit tricky at the start but once you get the hang of them they are a very capable little camera and will give you a good grounding in astrophotography.

Cheers
