NGC 3766 and Lambda Centauri in HDR

Taken with 300mm F2.8L lens. Seven exposure levels from 7sec at 200 ISO to 2 min at 800 ISO all at f/2.8. Converted from Raw to Tiff and corrected for flats with ImagesPlus.Stacked and aligned with Registar. Used EasyHDR to produce final image.

All exposures taken with camera in fridge at -8.0 C at an ambient of 17 C. Used the fridge mark III with two Peltiers and two heat sinks. It easily gets 25+C below ambient even with the heat load of the camera taking long exposures.

More on the fridge in ATM etc.
