[Omaroo (Chris Malikoff)]

I ran a little experiment with myself a couple of nights ago to see what I could pick up in a single 900-sec exposure in the B33 region with my little Sky-90 running at f/4.5 and a bog-standard Canon 40D at ISO800. It ain't the smoothest (no stacking), but I'm reasonably impressed with how much light this little 90mm scope can suck in in 15 minutes. Given that the 40D is un-modded, it is a pretty reasonable result I reckon.

EDIT: Just added one I did at ISO1600, merely converted from RAW in Canon DPP and tweaked a little in Photoshop. The colour is better when initially processed by DPP than Camera RAW, as is evident. Again - single exposure for 900 seconds, no dark, no flat, no nothin'.
