Hi All,
Tried a couple of Galaxies last night, reasonable results, but think longer exposures are required.

both are 7 x 4 Min. ISO800, DF removed- guided Lx200-10"/F10

Hi All,
Thanks for the comments, and Acropolite, I used a modded Canon EOS300D. Im testing it out on the LX200-10"/F10 to see what results I get at this slow F-Ratio, not bad so far, doing more Galaxies tonight, these objects are from Mag. 8 to Mag.14 which is pretty dim but the Canon (modded) looks like it will handle them, good for an uncooled Camera.

cheers......Jim
