Thanks Trevor,

I will certainly look this book up. Your ETA C image shows great detail. I need to read up on taking darks as it doesn't quite make sense why they need to mirror the image sub? I thought a dark was a dark but obviously not.

Regards Heath

Varying the exposure times is good for those objects which have a large dynamic range eg: Orion with the bright core or globulars where you wish to be able to show detail in the core.

Remember the more subs you catch the better, when I was shooting with a DSLR I used Jim Solomon's Cookbook as a guide, it's a good introductory tutorial to imaging with a DSLR

ps: look at the ETA C image I posted here 10 x 330s frames at ISO800 with a modified Canon 350d
