Hi all,
I also just bought a 400D. Awsome! I tried my first astro pic on McNaught. I set shutter priority, ISO 800 and compensation to +2, which was probably a bad Idea, as i got a lot of noise, even with noise reduction on. I popped it piggy back on my 8" Newt and set a 10 second exposure. The image was RAW.
I've also got a remote shutter release on order as well.
A couple of q's, though;
How do you focus without any realtime LCD display? I found the experience a bit daunting, as I really want to get into deepsky imaging.
Second question;
What are dark frames? That's something I've not heard of.
Anyhoo, here are the results of my first foray into the world of 400D!
