Eta - Unmodded Canon 400D

Thought I would post this with all recent shots of Eta - shot this back in April:

12 X 3min subs at ISO1600 and jpegs ICNR
Takahashi Sky90 with flattener @ 4.5 with Astronomik CLS filter
Canon 400D unmodded
QHY5 guide camera through a Canon 70-300mm zoom lens @ 300mm
Stacked in Nebulousity, with processing in Nebulousity, PS CS3 & Neil Carboni's actions

I know I need to reduce the ISO and shoot in RAW. Histograms are little over the place as well - too much processing probably.

I have been following the posts with ETA including Leon's "Just Compare" with
the modded and unmodded 5D and trying to work out whether to get the 400D modded locally or perhaps buy a new Hutech modded 450D (I'll be in the US in a couple of weeks) or perhaps a QHY8. Or just go unmodded for the moment and learn more on processing, guiding etc.

Best,

Craig
