Camera Test
A problem I've been having for a long time is a serious lack of reds in my images. I've learned to accept it as there are a lot of beautiful Nebs out there that aren't only red.
Two nights ago I tried to capture the Cone nebula. 2 1/2 hours of data and still very faint reds. Last week, Rosette gave me the same issue. Its time to accept that need to do something about it. Astro modding my 5d seemed less desirable than pulling apart my old 350d, purely given the value the two cameras untouched.
Out of interest, I thought I'd test the cameras on the same object at the same time to give me a good base line comparison. And why not throw my fiances new 200d in the mix too ( i must say I'm a big fan of live view for focusing ).
The results are quite stark between the 3.
The region is Eta Carinea ( It's bright and has a lot of red cloud and can be imaged from my Bertole 7-8 skies )
All 3 are sets of the best 8 subs x 30 Seconds @ ISO 800
The only post processing that has been done is 100% saturation of the red channel.
The images are in this order :
Canon 200d
Canon 5d
Canon 350d
