Hi again,

30 second subs?!!! WOW!!! very impressive... is that k-x modified?
Well done!

The Pentax is not modified, I must say I am rather impressed with the longer wavelength colours it is able to pickup.

"30 second unguided exposures", I think it's come up a treat!

Thanks Darren I am able to do longer exposures up to 2 minutes unguided but more time getting good polar alignment is a must.

Not bad for a first go I'd be happy with that

Well Trevor I intend to return to the LMDSS next month or so, and I will try longer subs and see how they compare.

That is pretty good for only 30 second exposures! I tried similar with my Pentax K200D earlier this year and it was a failure. It looks like the k-x performs a lot better.

Rob the K-x performs rather well, for a first off DSLR I am so happy with it. Pentax has released a K-r so it would be interesting to see what improvements has occured.

Thank you everyone for your comments. Paul
