Just a few shots from my modded 40d by EzyStyles. Still trying to get used to DSLR imaging. I think my biggest problems are too short exposures and not enough frames, resulting in over stretched images.:D(Oh, and need an MPCC)
Plenty of time to practice.;)
Triffid nebula, Great Orion's Nebula and Eta Carinae/Keyhole Nebula in unsharp mask.
Bintel N200 scope, modded Canon 40d, eq6 with eq mod, guided with an Orion 80ST and DSI Colour 1.

Certainly shows promise, you have the mount/focus/guiding right. A bit noisy and some more time with PS perhaps, but a good effort. What were the exposure times, and how many?.

Thanks for the props nice work especially for first light! Fred is correct, abit too sharpen up. If you don't mind, send me the stacked image of ETA and i'll send you back what i can do with it. Neverless, i'll be very happy with those like i said esp for first light. keep em coming ;)
Cheers

Lol! I just did a tidy up and ditched them!! I know they're not good enough, just playing and learning the camera. It is very different to a sensitive CCD Astro unit, which has much higher sensitivity and way shorter exposure times.
Here is an original of Eta which just has minor stretching and a quickie of the Lagoon I tried at the same time. Low Res for loading on the site.
Cheers!
Yes, a little heavy handed on the first round. The repros show better form. Need to get flats happening and you'll be well on the way to producing some great images.
