Eta carina widefiled and M83

Hi all
I used Houghys cooled 350D to take a 50mm widefield of Eta Carina
4x15 mins canon 50mm F1.8 stopped down to F5, with Idas uv/ir and Baader UHC-S filters on front. Sensor temp 1.5 degrees.
Full res. version here

Then put on to the mount the 10 inch f5.6 scope, did M83
Idas uv/ir filter, mpcc coma corrector, 15 x5 mins ISO400, sensor temp round 3 degrees. Larger version here

The darks in this camera are amazing, they look like offsets, that is , a 15 minute dark looks like a 1/400th sec offset shot, as theres no noise to speak of. Its an amazing bit of gear
