[Ross G]

Hello again,

I'm still processing the shots from my Coonabarabran trip nearly 8 weeks ago.

While my main scope and QHY8L were shooting away at DSOs I also set up my Vixen mount with with 2 Canon cameras to take wide field photos.

These photos were taken with a modded Canon 1000d and Olympus 135mm F2.8 lens.
Unfortunately I forgot to switch on In Camera Noise Reduction and I did not take any darks (.....it was cold, I was tired, the night was scary etc etc...).

I have done the best I can with Photoshop and I am actually surprised they have not turned out as bad as I expected....however, what do you think?

Thanks for looking.

Ross.
