Jason,

Cheers -- I was quite pleased.

No filters. Just straight camera and lens.

John,

Thanks!

If you have the polar scope, there's no reason why you can't also achieve the same exposure length. I've managed (so far) up to 8 minutes at 40mm.

I am hoping to try my new Polarie and Canon 7D at the ISSAC event next week to see what it can do. I doubt I will get anywhere near that length of exposure with the cameras inherent noise levels. Will try though
Greg,

I thought you might be interested to see this one.

Yes, I spent a considerable amount of time with the polar scope getting precise alignment. The hardest part is finding Beta Hydri, but, I've got that down pat now, too.

Shame the fog interrupted your imaging session. No amp glow and nice and clean. You nailed polar alignment too.

Greg.
Marc,

Cheers.
