Thanks Leon,
I admire the work you do, loved your Rosette and of course would like to aspire to images of that quality.
This DSLR imaging is all new to me so I thought I would approach it by trying some star trails, which worked out ok, then some piggyback work on my scope.
The 17:85mm EFS is my only lens and I realized that IC 2118 was a very dim target, but I was interested in establishing the limitations of this, pretty basic lens. I was disappointed that my first two attempts resulted in, not even a hint of IC 2118. The problem, I believe was the polarizing filter that I forgot to take off of the lens.
When I say I am happy with this result, of coarse I would have liked it to be better, but as dim as the Witch is in this image it gives me the encouragement that with enough data even this basic Canon lens is going to be capable of producing a reasonable image of The Hag.
My next step is to go prime focus, I just need to build a light box for my flats. The recently posted article on the subject of darks, flats and light box's by Eddie could not have been more timely.
Regards
Trevor
