Thanks batema,
Yes I was surprised by how well I got it focused.
The live view helped especially after trying hoplessly with my 20D.
The 600D is great.

The signal to noise ratio, which is what we are concerned with in AP will be far greater in the stacked photo.
Thanks Peter,
Yes I've seen your pics too...very nice and good to see similar equipment.
It will be great to get comparisons as we progress.
As far as times go I'll wait until I try some longer exposures before commenting but I'll be experimenting.

Cheers,
Ken.
