Flame and Horse Head

This is a true first light for the new camera, (a cooled and modded Canon 1100D), using the ED80.
It performed wonderfully, keeping to a pretty steady -14 all through the session.
A total of 3hrs and 45min of exposure time, using 5 minute subs.
It's mainly captured at ISO 400 with about an hour of ISO 800 thrown in. I'm still experimenting to find out which setting is best.
I had taken darks and used them initially, I found that they made no difference to the image so decided to process the image without them.
I did use flats though. You've gotta use flats.
Stacked in DSS and processed in CS3.

As the season progresses I'll be adding more data.
