Hi all
Tonight I tested the EOS 600D on DSO imaging.
2x5 mins ISO200
full res image
here
Camera is not modded. Warm night, 20 deg ambient
Also attached are pics showing the incredible resolution of the 18 MP sensor. 2 pics of the Trapezium, full res. crops
a 2x1 sec pic at iso1600, and a single 1 sec iso 200 pic, clearly showing the 2 faint trapezium stars. It allows the Sutching mirror in my 10 inch f5.6 scope to stretch its legs
A modded version of this camera, or better yet a modded and cooled version would be an 18 megapixel imaging monster.
