Eta Carina 5D and ED80

I managed to set the scope up tonight after a long wait for the clouds to clear, and for the arrival of my 2" camera adapter from scopestuff.

I got a rough polar alignment and hooked the new Canon to the Orion with just a slight bit of anticipation

I got a 14 second shot of Orion, and a 33 second shot of Eta.

To say i am happy with the camera is an understatement, it is awsome, i will hopefully get to a dark site this weekend, and take more time getting accurate polar alignment, i think the results will be just what i had hoped to get from this camera.

Both pics shot in raw mode, auto white balance, ISO 1600
prime focus.
