Thanks Meru. I use Nikon manual focus primes as they were relatively inexpensive and optically very good (vastly superior to the stock autofocus canon zooms that i had for daytime photography). They also have a hard infinity stop, which makes focusing for astrophotography a breeze. I use them with a Fotodiox Nikon-EOS adapter that I picked up on ebay which provides the correct backfocus spacing.
the red/orange hue to the image is more related to the colour balance post the camera mod and my monitor. Not a lot of light pollution here in country NSW!
With fields like this one with so many stars i'm not quite sure what I should use for the background and white references for colour balancing in PixInsight, so i just 'eyeballed it' this time. Any tips on how to do this properly in PI appreciated
