I don't mind at all, Leon. Thanks for your comments.

I know you love your DSLR but how about getting it modded, I think you would be very pleased with the jump in results.

Thanks Paul - I'm looking at getting a modded DSLR around mid-year. At this stage I don't know if it'll be a QHY8, modded 20D, 400D or 450D. A lot will depend on the budget - cheaper the better.

Out of interest, what ISO did you use?

Thanks Pete - I've been using ISO400 lately, and did on this shot too.
