Houghys cooled DSLR on 300mm f2.8 lens from Bert
Hi
Houghy kindly left his cooled DSLR with me for the night. Put it on the 300mm f2.8 flourite lens, used the Baader 7 Nm Ha filter. Images taken with sensor arounf 4 or 5 degrees. Ambient around 17, an uncooled cameras sensor probably round 25 degrees.
Eta Carina and the Running Chicken nebula, both 2x10 mins ISO 400, combined with just 1 dark taken at same sensor temp.
During processing I noted a LOT less noise, I wondered if it was even worth taking darks hehehehehe but I did anyway.
Sky was poor, bits of cloud and very light and hazy
At a really dark site this cooled camera and the Flourite lens would make a devastating combination.
