Well done JD,you've framed Orion very nicely. It's a tough gig with the compacts.

I was disappointed to see I couldn't get mine to go to 15sec at 3200ISO - that would have opened up a few choices. It seems when I set on 15sec I can't then crank up the iso as well.

I got some pretty decent images of the moon holding the compact up to the eyepiece of a dob. Do you have access to a scope as well? There are also some eyepiece adaptors out there that let you mount the compact up to the eyepiece. Not too expensive.

I always had to remind myself to turn the flash off, turn the flash off, turn the flash off!

Good luck - the bug has bitten
