Chris, I'm getting excited already
as because I am still only just starting to experiment with stacking, I often do 1 frame shots and trying to get the best out of 1 frame for now as I learn more. The moon is the only one I am starting to get confident with stacking (with your tips too!)
Can't wait now for a good night and go and try my 40D!
One of the reasons why I joined IIS was that I had the 40D and a telescope but never genuinely attempted astrophotography until about June this year when I saw a truly beautiful
photo from Octane I think posted late last year with the 40D and 200mm lense (both I have) of the horsehead area and your single shot gives me some idea what I could theoretically get as I start to move into deep sky.
You've got be rapped in the outcome of that
Thanks for sharing!!
Cheers,
Darrin...
