Hi all
Tonight I tested the EOS 600D on DSO imaging.
2x5 mins ISO200
full res image here (http://d1355990.i49.quadrahosting.com.au/Scott/etacar2x5minsiso200eos600db.jpg)
Camera is not modded. Warm night, 20 deg ambient
Also attached are pics showing the incredible resolution of the 18 MP sensor. 2 pics of the Trapezium, full res. crops
a 2x1 sec pic at iso1600, and a single 1 sec iso 200 pic, clearly showing the 2 faint trapezium stars. It allows the Sutching mirror in my 10 inch f5.6 scope to stretch its legs :)
A modded version of this camera, or better yet a modded and cooled version would be an 18 megapixel imaging monster.
