Hi Guys,
I just had to do it and have my 350D modified by Eric (quick and reliable service
). As per usual the clouds arrived in force, so I had to wait a while until they pushed off just for few hours.
The moon was around 80% and illuminating everything, but I just had to give it a go. With a FL of 480mm I placed a few objects into the field of view, the Eta Carina Complex and NGC 3293 (Gem Cluster). The image could have used flats but overall for a quick go I'm quite happy with the result
Image:
12 x 300 sec (ICNR on)
ISO 800
Gear:

EQ6 + PHD guiding
Processing:

If you have a DSLR and you are considering having it modified, I say do it
Michael
