First light tonight with new 400D. OMG, what are all those buttons?
Anyway, posted a conjunction pic in "Solar System", so thought I might as well inflict some pain in "Deep Space" too!
Shooting off a tripod, so I had to keep exposures relatively short. However my sequences had considerable field rotation, exascerbated by using in-camera noise reduction. Ended up with some really weird effects with stacking multi-point in Registax!!!! (multiple concentric swirls!). Adopted the Homer Simpson philosophy - if it's too hard, it's not worth doing.
So here's just a single exposure of the Sagittarius starfield, ISO 1600, F/5.6, 20 sec, using just the kit 18-55mm lens at 18mm. Cropped, resized & absolutely murdered in PS & Noiseware. Hope it's not too dark on your monitors..... Jupiter is the bright 'star'.
It's obviously going to be a massive learning curve....
Cheers
