Dear all,

This image was taken as one single shot 5 minute exposure at ISO800 by unmodified 350D with TEC140 F7 APO on top of EM200 on 11-07-2005.

Just a test picture of capturing and processing but it is interesting to see what a 5 minute exposure can do.

Great Shot, That 350D seems like a good camera for Astrophotography.
Is it the best in it's price range among the DSLR's ?

Excuse my ignorance but what are the specifications of your APO the image is stunning for only 5min.

Dear Avandonk,

The TEC140 APO F7 is a Aplanatic (don't know what it means) oil-spaced triplet with an ED glass in between, with 3545 (3.5-inch internal diameter) Feathertouch dual speed focuser. I add it Robo focus for finer focusing.

See TEC's website at :
